Those are great. Where did you get your supplies?

Thank you! I went to Michael's. It's a craft store in our town. I just found keychains and lobster clasps, a spool of wire, alpha beads, red, black and gold seed beads and then I found little starfish charms. I'm honestly glad we have a small group because I'd lose my mind making more of these lol!! I'm also making photo frames, and I'll post those tomorrow.

I don't know why, but this went on the previous page. I went to Michael's-a craft store. They have everything I needed! I also made photo frames. Once again-if you're on the 7/24 Dream, DON'T LOOK!!!

Thanks! We have a Michael's. I'll have to go check it out! I saw that your post ended up on the previous page!!!! Strange things going on here!!!
Your frames are cute too.

that probably depends on the girl I have a niece who would LOVE that stuff at 10 but my best freinds daugther would not, she thinks she is too mature for the kids stuff. (I know cause i gave it to her for her birthday and got the rolly eyes and "what the heck" look she tossed it to the side......

especially if they have older siblings as well, they tend to be into "older" things....10 - 12 is a really hard age to know what to get.

I totally agree that it depends on the girl. My 9 1/2 year old is over princesses. Now, we live only 1.5 hrs from Disney, so she grew up with it and now she's over it. Plus, she hangs out with some older kids sometimes, so I'm sure it's not "cool" to like princesses.

I was thinking of the luggage tags. Or, our girl scout troop made reusable snack and sandwich baggies for their bronze award project this year...I could make those. I'm getting idea overload

Thank you! I found wooden frames at Michael's (on sale too!) and just bought acrylic paint. I used desert sand, sea breeze and black. Then I just added some stickers. I didn't go as fancy as some others, but I had fun making them. Plus I liked them so much I went back and bought myself one lol

 

[nuermk]

Such a great idea, you are so creative

I'd love to know how to make reusable sandwich bags. Can u give us some directions and material used, etc? Thanks!!!!

 

[ibouncetoo]

I'd remembered seeing a tutorial on the reusable bags and had saved it to my favorites. Here's the one I found via Google.

That link is pretty much it! We used rip stop nylon and hid all our seams

 

[jessica52877]

That is how I have seen them done too. I have made reusable sandwich wraps but never the bags (just use gladware). The ripstop and fabric have held up great tossing in the washing machine though after each use.

[nikicares]

I have to just say that I my daughter and I finished up our FE gifts for our Dream sailing on Sept 11 today!!

Let me just say, that I am by far, not crafty by any means, and these are not half as amazing as all of the ones I see on here, but I have to say they are hand made and were lots of fun to make, except now I CANNOT wait to go on the cruise!!! I am going to go crazy!

I will post picture of my FE gifts when I return from our cruise, I dont want to ruin the surprize for those on my cruise.

I am soooooo excited!!!

I would like to know what you guys think about our plan for our FE gift for our next cruise. (Before I start them)

Now this would be for the adults.

For those of you that have been on a DCL cruise before and ordered room service. Remember the cute little salt and pepper shakers that came with your food? Well I work for a supply store that sells them and I can get them cheap cheap!! So I was thinking of either doing a Disney Dream glass etching on them or a transparent picture of some sort painted on it.

Would this be something that people would like??

Thanks for your input!!
