Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

[Marlea98]

We enjoyed out FE gifts from Australia the most. They included sample sizes of Vegemite and crackers, TimTams, and a tiny stuffed koala. They shipped them ahead to the ship.

I hope you liked the Vegemite. It really is an acquired taste but most of us start eating it as a toddler so we're used to it. The trick for non-Vegemite kids is to spread it really thin and build up as you go. Too many people make the mistake of slathering it on thickly like peanut butter and it's way too salty for that.

I love vegemite and will be bringing over my own little jar for toast or sandwiches if I feel like it.

I didn't mind it too much, but it isn't something I would buy to eat. My husband had to spit it out. Might taste better with a cold beer. I bought a jar of it locally at World Market for my niece to share at school, didn't hear how it went over.

Hi, Amy. Gilbert certainly qualifies as a neighbor! Thanks for the kind words - I had fun making all the items and participating in the FE exchange as this was our very first cruise ever.

DO NOT LOOK IF YOU ARE ON THE APRIL 7th Dream FE





So I wanted to make everyone charm bracelets at first.I ordered these amazing silver beads overseas and then started buying the crystals. I had to readjust because I had already spent $100.00 and only had half done. So I went with the earrings.. I also made personalized keychains for all the younger ladies. However, I still was able to make 4 bracelets that I will let my son pick out randomly when we drop off the gifts. I FINALLY learned how to paste the photo directly... YAY
I put up better pictures so you can see the colors of the crystals..

These are AWWWWesome!! Where did you get the Mickey Key charms? - LOVE THEM!!

My mom is wanting to do a vacation countdown as an FE gift, so she has charged me with finding a way to do the numbers "really cool". I am turning to all of the creative people her to find number fills. I've loved the letter fills that people use for names, just wanting numbers for this. Any suggestions who to talk to or where I should post this message? I'll post pics after we get one done.
Thanks, Annette

Where do you find all the Mickey type beads? I have looked and there are none to be found. Do you order them somewhere?

I'm hoping i can burn coppies of the dvd . thanks for any help you give.

I ordered some off ebay last week, but they haven't gotten here yet. They are shipping from China.

I found some really cute charms - Mickey heads - on ETSY.com. The shipper is from USA and you can receive in a few days. I did order some things from Chine but it took 20+ days to get here

Hope this helps : )

If your on the Nov. 27- MR cruise - Spoiler alert

I made cell phone bags for my FE. My DD complains that she doesn't have a good way to carry the phones. So I made these.

Would you be willing to share the pattern for these? They are adorable.

I buy elastic Mickey-head bracelets at Disney ... snip the elastic and there are 33 or so individual beads. I think the bracelets are $5.95 or so.

They come in assorted colors ... and different colors during various holidays.

I'll have to figure it out. I just kind of do it. I haven't really thought about it.

Hi all, just back from our Dream cruise, Oct 23 ~ 27th, so I wanted to post pic's of my FE gifts. These were as much fun to make as they were to give out. Can't wait for our Fantasy cruise next year.

Book marks for all...smaller ones for kids and personalized ribbon for adults

Bottle cap carabiners for men, teens and kids(10 and up)

Bottle cap necklaces for the women and teens(10 and up)

Itinerary and calendar magnets

I was on the cruise that got these gifts and they are wonderful. My DD8 just pulled her bookmark out to put in her new Diary of a Wimpy kid book we got yesterday.

Thanks! You made our trip special!

Hi everyone...looking for any help in finding "Hidden Mickey" designs for 1" glass tile necklaces. I love the Mickey swirl ones see earlier on this board, but looking for any and all designs anyone is willing to share for necklaces. Also bottlecap designs/graphics. TIA

 

[Dagny]

I continue to be amazed at the creativity here - you all have such wonderful ideas - thanks for the inspiration

 

[tiggerb]

Here's hoping a Hidden Mickey List and clues for Fantasy come out! Love this idea! And, may have to adapt part of my gift (If you don't mind)

Just curious if anyone knows how to make the bottlecap charms? I think they are soo cute and can't figure out how to make them. I'd love to do it for my FE group next year.
