Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

[glassslipper2004]

Wow, those t-shirts are amazing! Great job!

A question about FE delivery - how does all that stuff fit in the FE? I just received mine in the mail (it looks great) and it is much smaller than I imagined. Does stuff just fall out onto the floor?

Size is deceptive. The pockets do normally expand. I am always surprised just how much fits in a Fish Extender.

I agree you wouldn't believe all the stuff that can fit into those pockets but I do reccommend emptying out the pockets several times a day. When you wake up in the morning you most likely will have stuff in it and every time you come back to your room.

Working on gifts today. Looks like we have about 23 cabins so, some are getting towels, some are getting ornaments and everyone is getting first aid kits. Numerous kid friendly items are bought however; not pictured as these are the main gifts. This is not the actual ornaments as I could not get it to photograph properly. It says on it.....I walked with you, Once upon a Dream on top. Bottom...Disney Dream 10-2 to 10-6-2011. I really hope these photos are the right size...I followed the sticky

Thoughts? I hope everyone likes them

The gifts are absolutely amazing. The people who will receive them will be very lucky.

Which embroidery machine did you get? I'm tossing the idea around

Your FE is very cute.

Thank you!!

That looks really good, it looks very professional. The whole thing looks amazing. Mine will def look homemade .

I especially like how the ear-hat light-bursts (or whatever they're called, they look kind of like a small fireworks burst) matches the fabric above and below the pocket!

And I'm absolutely loving that background fabric too! The red with the darker red mickey-head shapes? Where on earth did you find your fabrics?

Thanks!! We found our fabrics at JoAnn's. It's been two years, though, since we made the FE.

Actually, we also used the blue sparkly backround fabric to cover a presentation board to display Mom's pins. They just pop against that color!

Personalization mall . com Love them, buy tons of stuff there. If you were ever to order, google for coupon as you can usually find 20% off.

October 16 cruisers look away!


This is this weeks project. I am still waiting for my Cricut machine but I got my Disney cartridges and molds for my earrings. I had some of my kids at my work help me paint and decorate some of the chests. I was waiting for the glue to dry and I plan on going back to cover up where I had the hindge taped and missed painting.

Too funny... this is very similar to one of the projects I am currently working on for our cruise on Oct. 29th. I love how yours came out. I hadn't thought of applying jewels to the outside of the box. Hope you don't mind if I use some of your ideas....

I'll post pics once I am finished. I went with a more aged dark look on mine. My DH wants me to use some molding clay and make it look like it just got pulled from the bottom of the Caribbean and has a lot of coral on it. Of course that isn't going to happen with all the other projects I have going.

Thanks again for posting yours....

The chests are gorgeous. Are they very heavy?

Thanks! Nope they are very light. They are made out of a paper mache' material. I bought them on clearance at Oriental Trading Company. The latches are a bit iffy but I am not latching them just to be safe. I left one the way they did it plain but decided to paint them Mahogony. I also used Tacky Glue. They were only $4.39/dozen in the less than perfect section. There were also some foam pirate swords there but I am making too much! I was also thinking of getting some black felt to put in the inside.

I plan on shipping them to the ship. But I am sending the FE gifts seperate to the resort just to be safe.

I shipped FE gifts to the ship in May and it worked PERFECTLY!!! It was SO worth not having to schlep them all over airports and to the cruise terminal.

I would never have figured this out. They look like wood.
