Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

So very very excited to see what Dolphingrl(Corinna) has put together!!! Over the last yr I hvae learned that Corinna is very creative so I eagerly await our 3pm meet and greet. I thought I was being creative with the name bracelets for the girls and sports =)necklaces for the boys, however I think she will put me to shame...=)

Here is a sneak peak of what I have made for the girls on my December 10th cruise. I know there are some "lurkers" from my FE exchange, so I will wait until AFTER the cruise to post pics of the stateroom gift and gift for the ladies.

These are absolutely adorable - are they pin badges or hair accessories?


There are so many amazing ideas on this thread - everyone is incredibly creative. Might use some of these ideas for my WBTA gifts next year!

Awesome! How did you make these? Especially, how did you get the pictures onto them?

They are really beautiful. You have a very talented sister.

Well, I am going to have to disappoint you. At the meet I will only give out the main gift, which might have been a clever idea and I hope you all will love, but the creative juices did not really flow for that one. I will give out the homemade stuff later in the week. I shall smuggle those into the Fish Extenders at some stage.

I have NO idea what you are talking about with the lurkers!!

I couldn't see the pix at work, but just saw them and these are ADORABLE! You are very creative and my DD will LOVE them!!!

Sure you don't want to slip and post the pix for the ladies?

My sister used the clay that is used to make beads. We rolled it out and cut out the shapes with cookie cutters or similar. We then put the hole in and baked them. Once they came out of the oven, we used rub on transfers for the pictures. Finally we put a couple of coats of some type of sealer on them.

My sister creates a lot of jewelry with beads so she came up with the designs.

Lurkers? Who would be lurking? Not me for sure..... My son may need one of these cuties for HIS hair....

sorry to be really dim (and obviously British as we don't have the word in our vocabulary) but is a barrette the same thing as a hair clip / hair slide. They really are cute!

These are very clever. Love the one with Mickey's head in relief. You guys are so talented!

I think this is were different parts of the UK have different vocabulary. Some of our local shops sell them under the name barrette as well. Barrettes here are hair clips with the metal back that kind of locks.

I know what you mean now ...... duh .....we don't use that term here in Wales - well I have never heard of it anyhow.

My girls thought of giving the kids in our FE little plastic bottles so they could gather some sand and water and maybe a dinky little shell , We were going to make tags that say "Castaway Cay in a bottle" and tie it with raffia. My question is will the water go nasty? I think it sounds like a cute idea Has anyone ever done this?

I believe I've read on the boards that you are not allowed to take any shells from CC, but I could be wrong. If I got a bottle, I'd probably take the sand, but not any water. I'd be afraid it would leak. JMHO

 

[jmb910]

I'm not sure what the rules are for CC, but when we went on the Eastern Cruise in 2007, we were told that it was a $20,000 fine for bringing sand back from there in case they had any bugs or parasites in them...

I thought about this too after my DD made one at Preschool. It's also fun to fill partially with colored water, and partially with oil, then you can make colored waves. I've also heard you should glue gun the top on to keep it from leaking. It started getting too complicated and I figured it might take quite a bit of time to assemble once there, so I'm opting for something I can complete prior to embarkation (we're also flying cross country, so I don't want to pack too much...)

 

[breakingd_awn]

Well ,scrap that idea, it sounded like such a simple craft. Thats one big fine I wonder whats in the sand? I'm having a hard time coming up with something for boys (I have 4 girls) so I'm not use to buying for boys. any ideas would be helpful. I don't think they would like memento boxes , but I could be wrong.
