Fish Extenders?

[kmab00]

I just got home Saturday from the Disney Magic and I had that same one in Yellow! It fit perfectly and worked out great! Good luck!

i've got the same one in yellow!! have you cruised yet? was it ok as a FE? when it got delivered, i was a bit worried that its a bit small.

Yes, we cruised last month and the FE fit just fine.

Make it 20+ inches or so, and wrap it around the fish (don't have to worry about it being too long) and secure with a zip-tie.

So is the zip tie needed to keep it from being "moved"?

Yes, you never know I have not had any problems with magnets or FE going missing myself.

Since I just made my first ever (very simple) fish extender and posted pics in the thread for my cruise date, I thought I would share the pics in this thread too No sewing, all hot glue gun, lime green fabric with winnie the pooh etc was chopped up from what I originally thought was a tablecloth, but turned out to be a children's small window curtain

Very nice, I thought about doing the no sew FE but I chickened out and purchased online.

Working on mine tonight...I have 100% cotton fabric and even with 2 layers...1 for front and 1 for back it seems flimsy...what do I need to use between the 2 layers to make it more firm/hard...if that makes sense?

Help I leave in less than 2 weeks and NO FISH EXTENDER ( i must move fast here ) anyway I have been looking at all of these beautiful fish extenders and I have a couple of questions....

1. where can I buy disney embroidered charaters to put onto my fish extender do they sell them at local stores?

2. How can I put our names on it so it looks ummm some what professionally made???

I was able to find some disney embroidered characters (iron-on ) at Hancock Fabrics. I think I also saw some at Hobby Lobby. As for the names, I purchased some embroidered letters (iron-on) from Hobby Lobby.

I have a question....our cruise leaves in less than 2 months and so far there is only one other family signed up on the cruise meet board (July 9)

Is it a waste of time to make an FE and plan gifts if it's just us? Do groups come together at the last minute?

Love your sons Name.
No it isn't a waste of time, you could still keep asking on your meet page and see. And if so you all could even do it up till the week before.
And even if you all don't have a offical FE exchange, still make one to hang by your door and just for fun and you could sneak and put things in for your own kids.
Have a Fun and Safe trip!!

: Your FE looks darn good for the first one! You ought to see mine I believe it's over done with Tink, it may fly off the Fish where it's hanging from and spread Pixiedust from one end of the Wonder to the other end.
