Wow, you did the plastic door cover too. Was it easy to put up? What kind of tape did you use. That's the same basic idea I'm going to do in Sept! If you have any suggestions for the door covering, please share....

Here is mine my first attempt I was planning on using this design to make t-shirts, and I think I will make up something similier for the door!!!!
This is fun

I went to PARTY CITY and found a plastic lime green table cloth/cover. It's really thin, almost see through plastic. I just taped it up with scotch tape. And we cut the hole for the room number. The Mickey ears I think were also from PARTY CITY. They were in the kids birthday section, they're like party hats. We didn't really know what people would be doing, so for our upper sign, we found tropical paper plates at PARTY CITY also and put my DIS name and our real names and a picture. The lower sign had our names, city and our "anniversary" on it. The green table cover was the best. Talk about seeing your door from 100 feet away!

Isn't that the goal of making the door signs? -Lol!

I'm thinking of making a Hawaiian theme for my family's door. Two stateroom doors, one connecting door, imagine the possibilities!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!

If you are looking for Disney fonts, clip arts, or if you are interested in making t-shirt designs see the bottom of the ORIGINAL post on page one. I have added links to the Creative DISigns forum and Creative DISign Tips thread. Enjoy!

Patrice,
Where did you find the shot of the ship at dusk? It looks "Wonder"ful.

It came in this cruise brochure/packet thingie that I got last month. I used my scanner and scanned it in.

Send me your email address and I can email it to you if you'd like.

Great looking signs. Now if I could learn how to do it. Everyone makes it look soooooo easy. Totally confusing to me

I need step by step directions & some one showing me at the same time.

The directions everyone has given sound simple. Greek to me.

Do you know any computer savy teens (nieces/nephews, neighbors). That kid who just walked past your house? <-- just kidding.

It takes time to find the fonts, clip arts, you have to think of what background you want, what do you want your wording to say, etc.. I have revised the very first post of this thread. On the bottom are links to a forum and a link to clip arts and fonts. Browse around there to get your creative juices flowing. Have fun! You can always print out pics and glue them on to poster paper too (w/ magnetic strips on the back).

I googled Disney clipart and then I saved them into My pictures file. Then I just went to my photo program (Microsoft picture it, is what I used) and I inserted the clipart onto the picture (which I also googled to get a pic I liked)
I had fun doing it and I am going to try some more designs. I used these characters to represent each one of us that are going to be cruisin!!! It wasn't hard at all once I figured out what I had to do. Good Luck

thanks for encouragement I may do it the old way where you hand cut & pasted & then make a copy. Or use magical dust

I was I could find the kid that just walked by, they would know more then me

Keep up the good work I love looking at all of your great ideas.

Try finding a Disney calendar and cut up the pictures (if you have the heart to do so.). That's what I'm going to do for one of my stateroom doors. Plus, if you cut out pics, you save toner for your printer. Also, you can use the Mickey face paint chips for wording (they come in a rainbow of colors).

thank-you, getting close hope I come up with something

We're just back from our Western. What great door decorations we saw. We had a sign and it was cute but I think the most helpful of all was the wipe-board we put on ours. It was easy for my son's new friends to leave messages on where they were hanging out. He didn't use the formal Lab once because he had so much fun going from shuffleboard to the courts to the pool and back and forth.

Make sure you walk the halls to see them all. People are so creative. Some people even took foam princess tieras and little pieces and glued magnetic strips/pieces to the back.
