BUT....you may be able to order them from the Michale's website.

I haven't actually attempted to order these from Michael's, thought I'd also look around for jumbo clothes pins that are 'natural' that could be painted. Just did a quick goole search and there are some out there. For example

haven't shopped around for best pricing yet though.

EDITED: LOL, I should have kept scrolling down to DisneyBasket's post !

We opted for two other projects instead so I'm good. I haven't seen either here so I'm pretty excited about them!

I like the magnets that go on the back of business cards - you can cut them down to different sizes very easily!

i've been using the same roll of $15 3M flexible magnetic tape (1/2 inch X 50 ft) that you cut yourself to size for years.

Your glass tile necklaces are beautiful! I love them! One question - what are the 2 black dots on Tinkerbell?

could they be the edge of her dress?
cone bra on Tink...that made me laugh!

That's what I used, too. They are flexible and easy to cut to size.

Thank you! I really try to make things that people would enjoy and use. So hopefully I was successful. I had planned to do other things, but ran out of time and this is what seemed like the least amount of work.

how do you make the deck of cards? all your gifts are awesome!

 

[Mom2PrincessesLinSy]

Nice I don't want to post mine yet, as we are sailing on the August 2 Alaska cruise, and don't want anyone to know!

Did you do the cards at Vistaprint or Snapfish?

The decks of cards were from ArtsCow. I paid like $7.99 for each deck and then of course this past week I got an email for a deal to get them for $2.99 . Not my luck, but people might be able to get in on that deal. They are really nice, though they aren't coated in plastic unfortunately, so I don't know how they will "wear".

Usually I don't post before...but I am just getting SO excited.

I got the cards at Arts Cow. They are WAY cheaper, but because they are in China or Japan it takes longer to get them, but worth it.

very cool. I love them! How many are in your FE group? we broke it up so we only have about 8 families each, so It makes the swap more manageable for money and suitcase space!!

Thanks, I hope people like them, it was my first attempt at jewelry making.

Schacteles - your gifts are GREAT! Where did you get the charms for the bracelets?

EBAY and I was able to get most of them in bulk, so they weren't too expensive. Most of the time, they were cheaper to get from China so you had to order them WELL in advance because it can take like a month to get them.

WOW! Everyone will love these. Wish I was on your cruise too! When are you planning on distibuting your gifts? I was thinking the first day at sea for me (giving jewerly to the gals too) so they can wear throughout the cruise. I know I would want your bracelet ASAP!

I am planning that first day, so people can wear the bracelets (I hope to see people with them) or use their cups. So we will see. It is on my list for tonight to get the FE gifts packed in my carryon.
