Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

[ArielRae]

I really like those!! What did you print the images on? I did luggage tags last year but they didn't turn out half as cute as yours!

This is how I made the tags. I took images off google images. Copy and transfered them into Paint on my computer to add the names and resize the pictures. I copied it from there to Word so I could save it on my computer. I printed the images on Kodak glossy picture paper using Kodak AiO Home Center program and selected the wallets size. I then used ID laminating sheets and an iron to laminate the tags. Then finally used my hole punch to add the hole.

For my FE gift I PMed the people in our group asking for their kids favorite characters so I can make individualized gifts for them. It is not uncommon to ask for what they may like. We have 30 staterooms so far and almost all of them have gotten back to me. I make the gifts as they write me back with the characters.

I did the same thing.. I've heard back from almost everyone in our FE group with their names and favorite characters so I can personalize their gifts. Makes it more special for the kids especially! Can't share what I'm making yet, but I will after we cruise!

We just got back from WDW a few weeks ago and now I am itching for another Disney trip!! Now that I have read this thread I am DYING to go on a cruise just as an excuse to put together a cute FE gift!!

Thanks for all of these great ideas! I went through EVERY page and am SO excited, but I am not sure when I am going to be able to pull off the trip!

Hmmm....

 

[cruisecrasher]

I know! I've still got 18 months and my head is spinning from all of the ideas!

Hey -- sorry to jump into things -- I started reading this whole thread starting from the beginning, but a couple of questions have popped into mind, and I wanted to ask while I still remember them (somedays I'm doing good to memember my name! ) So hopefully I'm not asking something that has already been asked and I missed it.....

Two questions:
1) Where can you get that cool Disney font? Is it something you can download from somewhere? Or buy it from Disney?
2) Are you allowed to bring food items on board? I noticed some people talking about candy/food items from their area that they were going to incorporate into the FE gift, and so I was thinking about getting a particular treat that is traditional/special in our area (either homemade or store bought), but don't want to get arrested for accidentally smuggling food on board!!!! Ok, and well, you can see where I'm from, and so needless to say, one of the things we are famous for is Bourbon...... (No -- if anyone out there is on my cruise, don't get too excited and think I'm bringing everyone on our FE list a bottle of Bourbon! ) What are the rules for that kind of thing?

The Disney fonts are readily available for downloading. I have one that is called Walt Disney Script. It did not cost anything and I just searched for Disney font.

You can bring food onboard as long as it is commercially produced and in its original, unopened packaging. Alcohol is also OK to brink onboard as long as you put it in your carry on.

Thanks. I fly frequently and TSA makes me nervous -- I have a feeling it will be the same with customs. I really don't want to spend my vacation in jail for attempted smuggling!

We received rum airplane bottles in our FE's on pirate night.

Here are a few items of what I am making.
If your on the OCT 30th Cruise don't look.

They are tags that can be hung anywhere. I figured the kids can use it after the cruise to hang on backpacks or anything else they would like. The Disers in the rooms get the DIS ID cards with the keyrings. DISers can wear them on the boat in their lanyards or use the keyrings to hang them off whatever they wish so they can be noticed. Nice ID card they can use on other trips too as they are laminiated.

I thought it was a cute gift, let me know if you like it or not.
Thought a homemade gift was better then buying something off the shelf.
Hope my fellow cruisers like them.

So Cute! I would love to get one in my FE...although we aren't on your ship...lol Great Idea!!!!

I was thinking along those lines...... Hope no one from my cruise is lurking around out there!

What a cute idea, but can you tell me what it looked like?

I think they meant those little mini size bottles of booze that you get on an airplane or in a hotel mini-bar - not airplane shaped bottles. You can buy them at the liqour store & they're less than 3 oz.

We loved getting these. We are still using as book marks. It is a nice reminder of a great week! Thank you!!!

I'm so glad they are useful!

For those of you looking for the HIDDEN MICKEY marblized pictures...go here: http://www.modernmarbling.com/HiddenMickey I found the lady on FaceBook and she said it was ok to share the link.

ENJOY!!

I love the marblized pictures. Was that magnets you put them on (just started reading this site)? How do you make the magnets?

Thanks!

I'm the one who actually made these. I bought a package of magnets from Michaels and glued on the back.

 

[morgansmom2000]

I'm thinking that I'm going to make those marbleized hidden Mickey pictures into bottle cap magnets! Thanks!

I thought about doing that, but I was concerned with the size and if you could see the Mickeys.

I'm going to test it, but I think the caps are about an inch across.
