Homemade fish extender- pics included

I finished today!! I’m not a seamstress (the only sewing I do is with suture) so I used fabric and hot glue. Does it look okay?

EDIT: for some reason the pics wont upload. here are links, hopefully that works....

Great job. I believe you have to have a certain number of posts before you can put photos directly. Happy sailing.

Great job!! We are sailing first time and I am going FE nuts.. I am making now a second one just for the fun of it..

I like the prints you used.. love the zumzums fabrics. . I was going to go with the same look as yours using printed fabric. I found a donald duck fabric and was going to do cartoon print for the rest..but then I discovered fabric section at Walmart and it was like the Gods were looking down at me .LOL! but I found all this cool stuff to use.. I am not a sewer and was amazed at the 1 dollar fabric squares and their button section!!! Olaf, mIckey, zum zums and Snow White. Micheals had none of this stuff! Walmart of all places!!

i also found at Walmart a cheap toddler skirt so I cheated, I cut it in half and used that as my DD wanted to be Elsa.. So now that her's is puffy and ornate I had to go with a different look. The skirt was the easiest thing cut and glue to holder. So then I became Snow White, my son Donald Duck but a different look I stole from PInterest... and the hardest was my mom.. I really wanted to do Haunted Mansion but finding that fabric was a challange. I found some at etsy.

Used fabric glue and an iron to set.. I had a glue gun but cannot find it so I found some old bottle of fabric glue I bought years ago. forgot why and it still works!!! Elsa's skirt is glued to the thing.. the rest I added via velcro..

Is there a FE holder pic thread? that would be nice for all to share.
I will look for a photo to post..

I wanted to post mine, is there a way to simple add a pic from your camera? or do I have to upload to a service provider and send the url?

You sew like I do! (With hot glue, that is. Not sutures. ) It looks fantastic!

Just upload it using the upload button beside "post reply" or copy it, then paste into your post

Thank you! I let my kids lick their fabrics, and they picked my husbands as well I picked mine. We got them at Sally’s and hobby lobby.

Great job! I’ve been looking for a four pocket to transform myself as well. May I ask where you got yours? Thanks!
