Green Mickey

[Careycrew]

OK, DIS'ers, Went to Home Depot and got my lime green Mickeys. Now what do I do? I know I should laminate them to make them last longer, should I also put our DIS Board name on them or do most folks leave them blank ? Finally, I guess figure out some way to wear it as a name tag then we'll be good to go. Right ?

Thanks for the help. What a great idea to be able to spot one another, and meet some new friends.

Below is a photo of the pin I made for my DW. I scanned the Alien Green Mickey head into my computer, then added her name and my DISname to the photo, then printed it off and placed it in this button that I bought at A.C. Moore.

Where did you get a DCL lanyard?

I wish the paint chips were a little bigger. Are yours like a sticker on a rectangular piece of paper and are you all just cutting out the mickey head outline? Maybe my DH picked up the wrong thing from Home Depot.

Mine are just peel and stick heads. I guess I could scan and print some extra's.

I tried to cut one out and didn't have very good luck so I turned my hairdryer on warm and pulled them apart. I had read a suggestion about putting them in the microwave to loosen the adhesive but I had better luck with my hair dryer.

Then I glued them to a thin piece wood, DH cut them out on his scroll saw, I glued a pin to the back of them and used scrapbook letters with our names to the front. It was fun and they lasted the entire cruise - we even made some and mailed them to other cruisers on our sailing.

We went to Home Depot and got ours too. I got some to make luggage tags with, and picked up some red white and blue ones for our cabin door (DH is air force). Still not sure how I am going to make them for a possible DIS meet this June, then again 7/22/06 (Hi Jazstar )

Okay - I am new here so I have to ask...what are the mickey's for? What is the purpose of having them?

 

[glindamood]

bhoffman - Welcome! There are many uses for the Mickey heads that you can pick up at Home Depot - door signs, nametags (so fellow DISers cruising with you can pick you out of the crowd and you can find them), luggage tags, scrapbooking - whatever your imagination can come up with.

Thanks for not making fun of me! I thought I was really missing something. We actually have already picked up every "normal" color of these as my so is OBSESSED with Mickey and I picked them up to use as flash cards to teach him his colors! I notice you are from Michigan, we are too! We cruise in July and I can't wait!!! Kids LOVE Disney World (of course) so we are doing a land/sea. Thanks again!

Thanks for the ideas

I never thought of using them for scrapbooking....
And I have all kinds of disney scrapbooking items. Now all I have to do is put the scrapbook together. LOL

Where did you get a DCL lanyard?

You can get one on the ship, they sell them i don't know how much, but they are quite nice and full of memories. It hangs on a hook in my room, waiting to be use for our next disney cruise on 7/22/06(Hi bethipooh)

i'm sorry, i was trying to follow here, as well...but i'm lost! what exactly is it? and in what section? i didn't realize that home depot sells mickey stuff...

 

[mmouse37]

The Mickey head people are discussing are not sold...they are the paint color samples for Disney's brand of paint. Home Depot has a display that shows all the paint colors and the color samples are shaped like Mickey heads....they are what people take home to choose colors.
