What Does YOUR DCL magnetic door sign look like? With other great tips for your sign

[taeja71]

I went to Michaels and purchased a 12 X 12 plastic envelope (used for scrapbooking) about $2.99 and stuck all mine in it. They transported very well this way, plus during our trip I used the envelope to stick all of our memoriblia (Navigators, invitations, postcards, etc.) in it since I am a scrapbooker too.

Awesome, thanks posters KimberlyC and macphrsn.

You're welcome. The magnet photo frames were found in the photo frame area of my local Michaels store.

I looked at this link most of the morning. I found the perfect icon for me. I was playing around with it paint shop pro & didn't make a copy first.Duh!!!!!!!!!! Now I can't find it. Please can some one help me find A pink mickey ears with crown that says Princess. I found it in one of the links between page 1& page 30

Many thanks

Instead of taking up space here, I think I can just post the link...I just uploaded them to photobucket.....

This is the "main magnet" - I am making this to go around the number on the door - hope I got the measurements right!

This is the magnet for day 1.

This is the magnet for day 2.

This is the magnet for day 3.

And I'll put this up the last night.

And I'm making these shirts for the kids too...

For the first day - since this cruise is our Christmas present from my dad.

And for each of them for the second day...dd's and ds's (I don't know why that wont flip back, I give up - you get the idea.)

For Pirate Night I'll put them in this shirt with black pants cut off (jagged like a pirate or shipwrecked person) and add some pirate props.

For Castaway Cay day.

And for our last day.

I guess going with them 5 and 6 is going to be perfect - much older and I'd have a mini-mutiny on my hands making them match every day!! It'll be fun, though.

Clovely great job on all your art work.

Not sure if this is what you are talking about -- On
page 52 is the pink crown and says "Today is my birthday -- feel free to treat me like a princess." That was designed by Julia&Nicks mom. Her designs are on the Creative DISigns Board, and can be found in the sticky The DIS Design Gallery.

Went to page 51-54, must be blind can't find it. Not sure where were the other two links are. Just learning this site. Thank-you for the help

OK, I've read and read these posts and now I'm ready to start working on our own door magnets. But I have two dumb questions:

Are most of these signs printed on 8 1/2 X11 paper?

Are all cabin doors magnetic?

Thanks!!

I always printed my signs on 8.5" X 11" magnetic paper, and yes the cabin doors are metal.

I am wanting to make door signs for our upcoming trip and I was wondering if magnetic tape will work. It is much cheaper than the magnetic paper. Thanks for help.

Earlier in this thread there are comments about preferring the magnetic tape over the magnetic paper. I'm doing that and hope it works!!!

We just got back from the 1/22 4 night wonder and the magnetic tqpe I bought at walmart (around $2.79) worked wonderful. I just went to some sights with disney icons, uploaded them to my card shop program and started designing. It was so simple. I then used a thick photo paper on some and for some I tried regular paper with self laminating paper (also at walmart around $8 for many pieces). Both turned out great. I just slid them in the front part of our suitcase and they kept great for the trip. Any other ?'s let me know.

I also took some construction paper and a large cup and drew a circle (mickey's head) then with a smaller cup made mickey's ears. I cut them out then wrote a name on each mickey head. I made 4 different colors. I then took the self laminating paper and used on them to make them stiffer and then put the magnetic tape on the back. I then attatched Gold curling ribbon to the bottom so they looked like mickey head balloons. They were so cute! I will see if I can post a pic on my next post.

If its not too late, may I suggest using contact paper or laminating your picture before putting the magnetic tape on? It will make your sheet stronger and it will help protect your pic from liquid damage. Just a thought.
