[tanda4556]

Thank you all for your kind words!

You should sell these!! And I'll be your first customer!! I don't care for the one's I've found on ebay.. so if you're interested, let me know!

Really?!
I can make the same Mickey version FE for you. Feel free to PM me, I can also send you more pictures of my FE.

Some people have used Mickey antenna balls.

I had a Toy Story FE for our PC cruise. I took a party favor Slinky Dog and cut the slinky out of it, leaving the head and the tail end. I wrapped wire around the dowel rod to create the body and then attached the head and tail end to make Slinky Dog.

WOW you have got to post a picture of your FE! Toy Story is my all time favorite so I'd love to see it!

Ready to take the plunge and make my own fish extender! Can anyone tell me how wide/long it should be in order to fit where it will be hanging? Looked at the beginning and end of this thread, but can't find the info. Must be somewhere in the middle thanks - pat

So what do people do if they are not crafty- do not want to spend $40 on a fish extender that they will never use again but want to participate????

Thanks for posting the link. I was just about to go search for it

Thank you! That was DDs idea. She was so happy to contribute. The Monkeys were a last minute thing. We rushed to Target at closing and found some on a bottom rack. I think we lucked out!

Oh! Wish I had seen this before buying my fabric today I could so have done this! I bought fabric (which my daughter did help pick out) now i have to figure out how to make a traditional one ... nice job

 

[MissMeidak]

Thanks so much for sharing all your wonderful ideas!
Job well done

Well, got my FE done and my DH is thrilled that the ONLY thing I bought for this was the iron-on xfer paper to do the designs on each of the pockets. Had the rest "left over" from a shoe hanger I made several years ago for DS......

A bigger pic is also in my 4Shared folder here:

Thanks to everyone for some of the really creative, cute ideas. You guys and gals are the greatest!

Just finished our Fish Extender for our July 4th cruise! The pockets were inspired by Genie and Tinkerbell.

I have a brief tutorial on my PTR if anyone would like to make a similar FE.

 

[Cari2109]

As you can see, I themed it around my favorite Pixar movie, Up (you can see stuffed Dug sitting off to the side!). The cloud serves as a dry-erase/wipe-board, which I plan to customize each day with little sayings like "Anchors Away!" or "Off to Castaway Cay". I bought wet-erase markers, just in case someone tries to play with it in the hallway.

I don't have a sewing machine with me here, so it's all glue/bonded... but I think it turned out decent.

This has to be one of the most adorable things I have seen.

What is the widest you can made your FE? Mine is 11 1/2 inches right now and if I have to start all over AGAIN I just may cry! I'm already on my second sewing machine. My DH bought me one for valentines day so we could make our own and it was all messed up, was returned and wasn't told it was jamming. Someone please help so I can finish this thing. We sail in 49 days and I would like to get this done and packed. Thanks!

Thanks for all the great pics. MIL is coming over this weekend so we can plan our FE and Pirate Night costumes.

Here's the FE I made but I have to admit I got the idea off of etsy.com. It was so cute, and I knew if I could find someone to do the embroidery I could sew one myself. I convinced a local shop owner to join in my madness, and he said he was up for a challenge. Normally he's stitching names on shirts and I had him stitching Mickey heads.

It turned out to be very long, so depending on how high the fish is our FE might just hit the floor. I figured I'd give the little babies walking by something to grab at.
