Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

That is adorable!

It was a set of 3. The third one was an orange Pirate skull with Mickey ears. Someone took it.

Oooo, those are NICE!! No we never got those, so either the gifter gave different items to those on the list, or they were stolen from us before we'd even seen them? Very nice though!

Feb 2011 will be our 1st cruise. wanted to get some thoughts on our gift. We just finished the 1st 1 today. Should we ask the people in our FE if they would like them personalized? Any thoughts would be great. Photo is a link because I could figure out how to down size it.

Those are so cute! I'm assuming the caps are removable and wearable?

Maybe personalize the certificate with the family name and room number?

I think those are GREAT for an FE gift!!

Christmas Ornament. I have no idea how this Diser packed so many of these and got the safely to the ship and to the staterooms, But I admire her Ability, and will proudly display this on our Tree this year and the years to come! The ribbon has personalized text on it that spells out "Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Cruise 2010"

Key Chains, I'm giving these to my two teens who did not accompany us on this cruise, actually my daughter already has hers and she loves it. My son will get his when he returns from College next month:

There are SO many more wonderful things we received. One more I WILL post but can't yet as I didn't take a photo yet, is a beautiful canvas bag that has become my new oversized purse. I'll take a photo of that one tomorrow!

I made these, they are magnetic bookmarks. Each person in the room got one.

I got one and will be using it! Loved the magnetic bookmarks! Thank you!

We received SO many homemade gifts, can I post a photo of homemade stuff given TO me instead of FROM me?

Oh, PLEASE do! I need ideas and I love looking at all these great things! Sure are a lot of talented DISers out there!

I loved all those gifts also. I will be borrowing the calendar idea for some Christmas gifts this year. That canvas bag...wonderful! I used it just yesterday on a school field trip. The ornament will be on our tree this year.

I did a couple of different gifts for the adults as the lists increased. Most received the tea towels that are pictured above, the others were back scratchers that have Mickey heads stenciled on them. I love the back scratchers more than the towels. Had I made one before the other, that is what I would have done for everyone

Love the ideas and the creativity that comes from this forum.

Oh my goodness! ALL of those are INCREDIBLE! Thank you so much for posting!!

Can I ask what's inside the Christmas ornament, other than shells? I see something orange & black.

Would to make something similar for our cruise, but am stumped as to what to put in it.

Anybody else have suggestions as to what to fill FE ornaments with??

So adorable! Can I ask how you made them ... only reason I ask, is that I have some magnetic bookmarks that are hinged at the top. Just wondering if these were, or are they a 2-piece?

them!!

In these ones were the sand, the few shells and the orange and black were Mickey Head shaped beads (likely one large bead with two smaller ones glued to it to make the mickey head)

For morgansmom's bookmarks, they are a one piece cardstock folded in half from the top and two small magnets attached on the bottoms of the inside.

Do you have a photo of the back scratchers? They sound really unique.

Here you go. I got the bamboo backscratchers at the $ store I stenciled Mickey heads on them. I then sprayed clear lacquer over the stencils so that they would not be easily scratched off.

Finally got my image to load.

Yep, just a piece of cardstock scored in half and folded. I did take a corner punch to them (I would forgo that if I did them again, after 175, my fingers hurt), but you could just as easily keep them square.

I printed the photo 4 to a 4x6 (made a collage in Picasa), and cut them to 2x3 each, so the cardstock was 2.4x7 (ish) to get as many as possible from a 12x12 sheet of paper. DH had self-adhesive magnetic strips from work, I cut them into small pieces and adhered them.

We're going again in April 2012, I'll probably make more!

Love the back-scratcher! I got a towel and I love that too!

They were in a baggie together, so I guess they could have been stolen from you before you saw them. We didn't have many magnets (know I know better), so we put the ones we got as gifts out and I was sad when that one was stolen.

I think they were actually on bracelets at one time. Morgan has a couple of those beaded bracelets from our last trip to WDW. Like this one, but I bet they were in Halloween colors.

thanks, very cute. It's amazing all the ideas people are coming up with.

I leave one wk from today will post when I get back- last cruise I posted early and someone peaked

 

[ameliaforte]

anyone on here going on the May 8, 2011 on the Dream?
i'm heading up the FE on our trip and was just wondering.

 

[Clochette nordique]

Sorry, ameliaforte, I am, from the May 8, 2011 cruise. Now you know (and surely recognize me).

And this is why I'm not posting mines... I thought you would be lurking on this site

But, I can promise not to look if you ask to. Actually, I'm very good at not wanting to know my gifts in advance, my family doesn't understand this one, it drives them crazy, but "it's their problem, not mine!" So you can be safe with your postings.

Beaucoup de poussière de fée
