Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

[JackNMel]

Here are some pics of the FE gifts I have been working on for our spring break cruise on the Dream (YAY!!).
I am doing necklaces for the girls/women, and keychains for the boys/men.
I got more age appropriate gifts for the younger kids, but hope the older kids like the homemade gifts!
It has been fun making them (they are scrabble tiles).

Sorry some of the pics are a little fuzzy, and the close ups look kind of pixilated, but they don't look like that in person!!

OK, the pics aren't showing up, not sure why. Can anyone offer some advice? I posted them through Picassa Web albums (google photos), but all I am getting is the red x boxes. Grr... I am computer illiterate, so this is a challenge for me
TIA, Mel

Ok, my dh figured it out, he is so smart!!

Thank you to all the DISigners who I got my inspiration from. Your creativity is amazing! Thanks for letting us use your images to make our own projects!

Have a great weekend everyone!

JackNMel, good job love your tiles. I am actually doing the same thing for my spring break cruise on the Wonder. I was having a hard time resizing the photos for the tiles. So I ended up buying some scrabble tile collage sheets on Etsy. I so wanted the DCL logo. How did you resize that and the magazine Mickey Dream cover?

Thank you! The Yudu machine is so easy and addictive once you get used to it. And clearance plain pot holders and treat bags (Michael's craft store) sure helped the budget.

We also all had matching shirts for pirate night.

I don't have the Yudu, but I have a Cricut (also made by Provocraft). We cut iron on vinyl out with the Cricut and made pirate night t-shirts too.

Each one had a hidden Mickey

Since it was Halloween while we were on the ship, we also did the Mickey tie-dye and added a vinyl jack-o-lantern face too.

One last one I made was a peace love mickey. Morgan wore it to CC and when Mickey saw it, he did the peace sign. This was our Christmas card this year.

I'd love to see your shirts!

These are awesome! How are you getting the images to stay on? Mod podge?

True Romance, my husband sized the pics for me, I am terrible when it comes to computer stuff!!
Morgansmom, I glued the pics on the tiles with regular glue, and then I covered them with a clear plastic sticker that I got from an ebay seller. I experimented with something called diamond glaze, but I didn't like the way they came out, it turned yellow and tended to pull up at the corners.
Thanks for the compliments, I think they are cute too!

Really cute idea. I like the size, because they wouldn't take up too much space to get there!

These are GREAT! I'm just sad that we're not on the same cruise. I wonder if you or anyone else would do FE swaps off the ship? I don't know how to post pictures of what I made, but we like them. The creative portion is handmade note cards. Maybe someone will like it and post it after the cruise.

morgansmom - love the shirts! I have a cricut also and think I can figure everything out except one little detail. The "bandana" on the rock princess skull...I'm guessing that is just the ears from one the the mickey carts, but how did you do the tied knot part on the side??? I guess I should just ask how you did the whole bandana? So, so cute!

I have been trying to do this for weeks now with no success (trying glazes and mod podge and random stuff). Can you please let me know the name of the stickers or PM me the link for the ebay seller? I really want to be able to make some awesome scrabble jewelry for myself but I can't get it right!

THANK YOU!

That's what I am making too, scrabble tile necklaces. I was cruising the Wonder MR Oct cruise but my DH's vacation fell through so we moved to the Sept 2012 7 nt Western on the Fantasy. More time to work on my FE. I actually had different things I mod podge on my tiles, however how did ur DH get them that small with out ruining the graphic? I will post of one mine when done!

I would love to know how JackNMels DH got them small too. I have been using ModPodge to to glue the image on the tile an then a Diamond Glaze type on top. I have been getting some bubbles, would be interested in the stickers. I got the chains and bails from Etsy. Also will do keychains for the men.

I don't want to post a pic of mine until after the cruise. In case my fellow FE participants are lurking

Wondering if you can search on epoxy stickers on Etsy...I buy mine for bottlecap necklaces from Etsy, and that's what they are called. Never looked for square ones.

Hey everyone, I got the stickers on ebay. The seller's store is Those-sweet-sensations, and she sells stuff for bottle cap necklaces also. I think these scrabble sized stickers are the way to go, the diamond glaze takes a lot longer, and when I used it, it tended to pull the corners up when it was dry.
Other sellers offer the square tiles too, you can compare prices.
I will ask my husband how he sized the images and get back to you on that. I absolutely love this thread, and am amazed at the creativity of everyone here. Looking forward to seeing what we get in our FE during our cruise!!

THANK YOU! I already placed my order for 50 stickers! I have about been in tears with the amount of time and research I've spent on this project. I'm excited about it again!

Okay I am not crafty, so I need some help.
I would like to give out Disney related page markers for books for the FE I signed up for. I use one now and love it. It's just made of a hard paper folded in half and theirs a magnet on both sides, so you can clip it in the page and close the book without dog earing it. Any idea where I can buy these? It seems like such a easy idea that I can't believe someone hasn't already done it. Thanks!

I love the necklaces. I wish I was on your cruise.
