Is it possible to make custom candy bar wrappers? Is there a template or something?

Thanks in advance!

or, you could just measure the candy you wish to use, and size your design to fit.

Bump-bump-bumpity-bump!

I am loving the ideas - I've even tucked a couple back to use at work for Christmas gifts!

I promised I'd post after my cruise, so here are the FE Gifts I made for our cruise (and I'm reviving this thread, it doesn't deserve to die!!!!! ):

Kids got a backpack and pillow sham in their favorite color for signing along with a pirate band...

Adults got a Mickey themed pillow sham along with a set of 5 bottlecap magnets, a highlighter with the cruise name and date on it (a la our very first post on this monster thread... These were great!) and a Post-It pack that my kiddos did stamping on.

I made shams for us too, and was really flattered when the Guest Services lady asked me where I'd bought them, she'd seen so many to be signed on the cruise!

I just had to say hi from the other Colorado Disney Freaks!! Love the shams you made!!

Thanks! I like these better than the regular pillow cases because they go on the beds, but the kiddos don't sleep on them every night so they don't have to be washed as often and the signatures don't fade as quickly.

Where in CO are you? We're down in south Highlands Ranch in Denver...

Great idea about the shams. We live in The Springs. Loving this Indian Summer!!

My folks live in the Springs and I graduated from Rampart so know it well! I'm ready for some fall weather though, this high 80's stuff is killing me! Leaves are turning so it's supposed to be cool !

Love the back packs. How do you make them? are there instructions somewhere?

I just bought the plain drawstring backpacks from Oriental Trading Company, and used iron on printer paper to print out a Med graphic and ironed them on, those were easy to do!

 

[1st Cruise]

I loved the sham and the backpack. It was an awesome gift. I was a little mad about what happened to our bottle caps. I put them on our door and over the cruise 2 of them went missing. But I still have my favorite ones on my refigerator at home now. Awesome gifts Colorado Disny Freaks.

Yes these were so awesome to receive! I got mine signed in the knick of time (procastinated). Thank you ColoradoDisneyFreaks!! Its sitting on Evie's bed right now and she loves it (we love ours too)

1st Cruise- We got 2 magnets stolen off of our door too - not the bottlecaps, but our Tunisia one and the Disney Mediterranian one (we were buying a magnet at each port). One was missing one day and the next day the other one. Then people were messing with our dry erase board - so I finally took everything down so nobody would steal anything else.
THEN on our last day a lady distracted me and stole my coupon I won for a free 8x10 at Bingo - I went up to the desk just a few minutes later and the lady had already cashed it in!!!
Funny, I was so paranoid about getting pickpocketed in Paris/Barcelona/Rome but the only things that were stolen were from fellow cruisers! Kinda sad.

That is so sad I've had a few things gone missing and now I only put out things that I won't miss or I zip tie them to the fish.

Awesome FE gift! Kudos to you! I wish I had the talent to sew! May be one day.

We take a pillowcase on for DD on our cruises, and discovered fabric markers wash well...where her pillowcase wiith the sharpies, not so much. I'm pretty sure she would want to sleep with the sham every night too. She loves her pillowcases!

THAT is awful! I mean - you can dish out the $ for the actual cruise, but you don't want to dish it out for a $20 picture???? and then to take it from right under you??? I'm still shaking my head. If I had seen her again on the ship, she would have gotten a MOUTHFUL!

 

[Lauralooneyfordisney]

Another fellow Coloradoan here. I love the backpack idea also. And yes it is hot but I love it. I am not ready for snow yet.

Whew... I have sat religiously at my computer for the last several days trying to get through this awesome thread, and I finally made it!!!! I have been making my list of ideas and copying pictures so I don't forget... I will ask permission before using anything, I promise!
Our cruise isn't until the end of August, next year, and I have already been on some of the magnet threads accumulating cool things to decorate our door! I haven't seen anyone on the Aug. 30th Alaska cruise, so I think I am pretty safe so far...
You guys are amazing, I do a bit of scrapbooking, but nothing compared to all this!
My question is for ColoradoDisneyFreaks, what kind of template did you use for the pillowcases? I know you mentioned that the backpacks were iron on transfers, but these are stitched, right? I just haven't seen one that big before and was wondering...

I know - the funny thing is she had to sign her name and cabin number on the certificate - I wanted to go hunt her down but it was our last night on the ship and didn't feel it worth it. The magic of Disney though - they gave me my free 8 x 10 anyway, the CM "snuck" it in with my photo package I bought.
