Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

[ibouncetoo]

Does anyone have the Wonder logo or a good, straight pic of the "disney wonder" sign on the side of the ship? Seems like something common that would be out there, but the only pic I have is kind of skewed because I was looking up to take the pic. I want to use the Wonder text in my FE. Thanks!

I recommend you post this request on the picture of the day thread...you'll get lots of help!

I have a shot of the entire Wonder from our recent cruise to the MR, taken when we were on the tender. PM me if you want it.

I made a CD/DVD holder that could double as a mini-album, and a door magnet that matched the cover of the album. The CD/DVD holder has two pockets in it, and I made single sheet inserts for each pocket that could be used to mount photos or memorabilia, or it could be used to hold photo or music CD from the trip (we received a music CD in our FE, and bought the photo CD, so have both!). I made one per cabin, and packaged it with an instruction sheet in a quart sized zip lock bag.

This is the cover.

This is the inside with the single sheet insert showing.

This is the back.

This is the instruction sheet I included.

I haven't made these personally, but these home-made photo coasters were posted over on the Dis Budget Board:

The coasters are really nice - but VERY heavy!!! Especially think 30+ cabins!! Great idea to use at home for Christmas though!!!!

I make those coasters all the time.

Exactly why I decided against them for the FEs.

Love the CD cover ... really great. Did you use a plastic CD cover as the base or did you make the whole thing. if so what did you use for the base? Thanks ( hope you don't mind me asking ? )

I think we're going on the Western 7 day trip next summer, so maybe our paths will cross and you'll get one then! Thanks!

That would be AWESOME!!!!!!!

Not at all! I used a basic, blank white cardboard CD folder as the base, and then altered it by using cardstock and die cuts/stickers in my stash. I used one most like the first link here, but you can also get similar results from the second. It took some trial and error to make sure I had the correct measurements for the inserts.

Although I didn't do this for the FE folder, you can also make an insert of two or more pages to add pages to the folder/album, although you don't want to add too much to it, or alter it too much so it will still close!

I've made those coasters too, as gifts for grandparents, etc. They are awesome, but definitely heavy!!!

Well these are not exactly homemade by me, but they were homemade by someone. I got the awesome picture by disigner Jordak and had the mirrors made by a wonderful lady I found on Etsy.

Jordak is a he and at the moment he is on a well deserved break. He used to have a thread on the cruise board and was also responding to request on the DISigns forum.

Here a link to the board where a lot of DISers make all kinds of really good designs.
Just like my Disney family in my signature.

I had artscow make some coasters. They were on sale plus free shipping so the price was reasonable. They are very lightweight.
