Fish Extenders?

[LITTLEKID58]

This is the FE I made for our PC cruise in August. I made 2 one for me and one for my sister in browns. I made it so that I could put a new trip picture in it each time we cruised.

It came out really nice... please join us on the meets board...We are a very friendly bunch of folks

I've been admiring your fish extender, the embroidery is beautiful. May I ask what kind of machine you have (please don't tell me you hand embroidered them).

WOW That is beautiful! Where did you get the mickey font for the embroidery? Just love this!

Hi - I'm sorry I have not been on this thread lately to see your questions. I have an embroidery machine that I embroider with. I'm not much of a hand sewer! I have a 6 needle Babylock Embroidery Professional now, but made this with a Bernina 200.

I found the Mickey Font online. I just typed Walt Disney Free Font into Google and it took me to several sites. My embroidery program digitizes it so I can embroider it out.

Making this was a lot of fun! Thank you for the kind words! Only 3 more months until I get to actually use it!

We leave for our cruise in 1 week and are very excited to be participating in the FE Exchange, but was very unsure of how I was going to get one.....little stressful decision. I decided I'd just make my own.....can't sew at all so wasn't quite for sure how it was going to work but after a couple of hours at Michaels and 6 hours or so of using fabric glue this is what I came up with.....

Hopefully the picture comes through....I have trouble posting pictures sometimes

Just thought I'd share.....if I can make one.....anyone can

How did you do the embellishments? Are they stickers? Iron-ons? I would love any info you have to share..I have a lovely FE that I need to embellish and personalize and not a clue as to what to do...

Thanks!!!

Believe it or not all of it is scrapbooking stuff. I've never been a scrapbooking person, but I went to Michaels and they had tons of Disney stuff to choose from. All of the stuff had sticky on the back and it seemed like it was going to stay, but I glued everything down with fabic glue to just be sure. It was like scrapbooking without the pictures Even the letters I found in the scrapbooking dept at Target.

What type of cloth materials are most of you using to make your FE's? I'm trying to make ours and I'm not sure what's going to hold all those goodies...canvas/felt/cardboard behind material...???

Where are you all getting the Mickey rods? I need to make ours in early August so I was starting to read through this thread - you all have some creative ideas and adorable fish extenders.

I actually used a wooden rod (from Michaels) cut it off to the length I wanted and then I had someone to pick me up two black Mickey Antenna toppers and put on the end of each rod. My husband had to make the antenna topper holes larger, but it worked. Then we painted the stick and the antenna toppers black. The toppers of course were already black, but it had Walt Disney World in white....so we just painted the whole topper.
