Here's a bookmark we received on our Dec cruise. :goodvibes I use it often.

That bookmark is lovely .... and very useful.

I'm not very crafty but would love to make a homemade FE. any ideas?

Just read through this thread ... some fantastic ideas. I have found loads of inspiration from reading all the ideas. If you want something simple .... what about the bookmark idea. Simple but very useful.
 
Your FE gifts are amazing. I might have to pinch that crayon holder idea for my next cruise ... I love that idea. The notebooks are great too.



Thats a lot of participants :scared1::scared1:
We are on the WBTA but we are splitting into smaller groups because of baggabe weight restrictions. I think we are having 25 cabins per group to make it more manageable.

This thread has been such an inspiration. I have loads of ideas for my FE gifts but will have to keep them all a secret until we return ... you never know which WBTA cruisers are reading this thread :rotfl:

Sarah, Please do steal that crayon idea, they are soooo cute and we are cruising with you on the WBTA!
So, yes, this WBTA cruiser is reading this thread! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
 
Finally found my card with pictures of what I made. Not as professional with my scrapbooking skills as some of the others but I still had tons of fun!

I did crayon roll ups for the kids.

Pooh for the little girls.

Tink for the older ones.

Nemo for younger boys.

I also did Nemo for my son's Kindergarten class last year and kind of tired of looking at all those crayon roll ups with fish on them!

And then cars for the older boys. Thank goodness we only had 4 older and I think they ranged in age from 7-9. I am sure some weren't thrilled with crayons but decided to just go ahead and do all the kids.

I then made a little notebook with just blank paper for drawing.

and added in 4 DCL coloring pages shrunk to 1/4 of a page. No pictures of them.

For the adults, I made little notebooks.

and bookmarks. I did learn to not try and punch a hole through after laminating. It was thick and nothing was punching a hole even though I kept trying!

Then I had other store bought goodies to throw in also with everything.

Jessica, they are truly gorgeous! My DD's are 8 & 9 and would love that! And so handy for the plane home, car trips, etc, etc....love them, LOVE them!!!!:worship::worship::worship:
 

I made paperbag scrapbooks for our FE as well as magnets with a DIS forum theme. I received a calender/ magnet with the Magic picture on top as well as another magnet with the DCL logo. Love the FE was so much fun!!:thumbsup2

I have made cellphone charms spelling out the name of the ship. I bought letter beads and then used crystal beads in either the people's favourite colours or the colours of the ship as accents in between the letter beads. This is really easy and looks great. I use headpins to do this, but you could use ribbon or string to thread the beads on as well.

Things I have done previously and will possibly do again include bag charms / keyrings using the DCL colours and the name of the ship in beads ( a bit similar to DolphinGirl's phone charms by the sound of it ), CD of Disney music -in my case Disney halloween songs and music as we were cruising at Halloween, hair scrunchies for the girls, fridge magnets ... you could also make luggage tags, bookmarks. There are loads of ideas on this thread if you read through.
 
Okay. I'm done (WHEW!!!!) and finally took good pix this time. I didn't take them of all the colorways I did the Mickey head in mainly because they are already packed for the cruise and I had that one pic a few pages back with all of them anyway. I did Stitch for myself becuse I LOVE Stitch :goodvibes and I did 2 more of Donald because my DH wanted to keep him too. I'm not sure I'll get my personal copy of Captain Mickey done in time. He's sketched on the canvas but I've been painting horses for custiomers to get them done to get $ for spending on the Mouse!
Enjoy.:lovestruc

P.Ps.
THANK YOU for all the sweet and kids requests for buying these, I just can't sell them w/o Disney's approval and I'll never get that. LOL I'm just happy to give them as gifts to my fellow cruisers. And believe it or not, they took less than a day to finish all of them. :)

Love these :thumbsup2

I am making a few more things, but I wanted to share what I have made so far...

First, our labels to go on the back of our gifts

I cut color wonder paper in 1/4 and then made it into a little notebook with a custom topper/back. I also made little labels for the markers, too! All the kids in our group will get their own :). (20 kids)

This is a cabin gift, probably for the last night...
I embroidered "Disney Wonder" onto red wash cloths and then included a Mickey embossed soap (wonder where those came from) and a little story I made up about the soap. I'll put in a close up of the story...

Pirate night gifts -
They are temporary tattoos that I made on my computer, and of course, an eye patch :)

(Credit - Normally I do my own designs, but why re-invent the wheel? The top graphic was found on Disney-kingdom.com, but I reversed the colors... The second graphic was a search on "Mom tattoo" and I erased the middle, reworked the yellow shading, and added Mickey, instead. The mom tattoo was found on http://prosperitywoman.com/Lifestyle/mom.html)

Tattoo on :). (I'm pale and I didn't do a good job cutting this one out)
