You have a PM.

Corinna I thought I had requested these but I guess not. If you would be do kind to forward them, I'd appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

I made these post it note holders for the adults/ladies in our group. They are basically a magnetic frame with a piece of Disney scrapbooking paper inserted into the frame. The ribbon was purchased from an Etsy seller, and I ordered the post it notes from Vista Print.

The adult baggies also contained World's Finest Chocolate (one piece for each adult in the room), which is made in my hometown Chicago, and a Land Shark Lager guitar pick with a magnet to attach if the person chose to do so. Land Shark Lager is brewed in my current city of Jacksonville. Everyone also received a postcard I had made up by Vista Print. The picture on the postcard is one I took back in 2008 during the Pirates Party; the backside of the postcard had the sailing dates and Ports of Call.

I will sheepishly admit, I did not craft the kiddos things. Instead they received an assortment of goodies such as B&BW hand sanitizer (girls), Chap Stick (boys), gummi treats (Disney, of course!), Mickey hacky-sack type balls, pens and notepads, Pirate tattoos, etc.

And it was all gorgeous, thank you!
 

Here's the scrapbook I made for my FE gifts, one per stateroom.

These are the pirate necklaces for the boys and NFL magnets for the men:

And these are the hairbows for the little girls. The older girls got necklaces with the same bottlecap design.

Does anyone have bottlecap images they would be willing to share. I am looking to make magnets and necklaces for the girls for our upcoming cruise but don't know where to find them.
Thanks :)
 
Has anyone used a 1" badge maker to make magnets? If so, do you have any advice on what badge makers work best? I am thinking of buying one.
 
I've done tons of research on this (1 inch button machines). If I could afford it, I'd get this one: http://www.americanbuttonmachines.com/Model_100_Button_Machine.html

There are 2 system options or just the machine. Everything I've read points to this as the easiest, most reliable machine. I've also found that the badge a minute should be avoided at all costs due to quality.

JMHO based on LOTS of research and longing. Lol

Consider it an investment. Then you can make, and SELL, buttons and magnets, possibly for school or fundraising.
 
My FE gift definately is not professional, but I had fun making them. We were on one of the Pixar Cruises, so I thought an Adventure book from Up would be a cute theme tie in. I found small photo albums for .59 each, covered them with a roll of packing paper. I purchased some scrapbook paper for the "binding" and used some black electrical tape for the corners. I created a stencil for the words on the cover and hand colored it in. I wasn't too worried about it looking perfect since it was supposed to be drawn by a child in the movie anyway. It didn't turn out quite exactly like what I was thinking in my head, but it does the trick :)
