Homemade FE gifts - Part 2

[HsvTeacher]

Now that the cruise has ended, I will post up our FE gifts that we made for other cruisers. I believe we handed our one to everyone, about 140 of them.

Took me awhile to remember how to sew lol, I hadn't done it since home ec class in junior high!

We were lucky enough to be on this same cruise and got a set of these tags. Thank you so much for making them. They are fabulous, and I know we're going to get a lot of use out of them!

Loved the whiteboards and magnet!!! I can't believe you handed out like 40 of those things, but it was nice leaving messages on all our new friends.

Please share where to find the pattern for the luggage tags, they look great, I'd like to try them too.

I sent you a pm with the link.

I have a bunch of extra, I wonder if I could sell these things, seems we have enough Disney lovers out here that might want some luggage tags lol

Jason and Heather, still waiting for my bag of 'leftovers' . And, HsvTeacher, I had heard about those white boards, they are awesome. What is the ship made of?

DD and I got the idea to make something special for the girls on our cruise that would be bringing their Amercan Girl dolls along. I found the directions on Pinterest to make doll sized Minnie Ears!

I had so much fun making these, that I decided to make little autograph book bags for the dolls as well.

If you're on our July 29th Dream cruise shhhhh...don't tell the DDs!!

Oh my gosh - These are fabulous! Thanks for the summer project idea!

Are the ships painted on? What an awesome idea!
How did you make them?
Where did you find so many dry erase boards?

Uhhh... Kudos to Heather too ! Jason, I'm with Susie on this one Nothing wrong with leftovers ~ can't let anything go to waste you know! HsvTeacher, the whiteboards are AWESOME!!! Looks like I missed out on a FANTASTIC cruise and FE exchange But, DH says yes to 2014 too with all of you!

Can luggage tags be made using Mickey head shape... aka... cookie cutter? I can't sew, but those would be cute too!

If you do a google search you can find tutorials with pics of how to make luggage tags. No purchase necessary

I sent you a link, I thought they were pretty easy to make, just a little time consuming. But as I said I haven't sewn in 15+ years lol

Hey now...Heather only helped pick out the ribbon...I did all the REAL work!!! I was thinking the same thing with the mickey ears. I think I may try something like that next time.

Bridget - I love the idea with the Mickey head shape cookie cutter tags. Also, the whiteboards were fantastic. We are taking it with us again for our Jan cruise.

I finally figured out how to post pictures. Here are our gifts from last year's cruise.

While I didn't "make" the book, I did write it (given to the littlest cruisers). I put a sticker over the Michael's thing in the middle of the frame that had our cruise logo & "to" "from."

I had a few chalkboards left over from our original FE (the big mickey head). I also made magnets and key chains, depending on the age. Sorry if the photos are huge. I have to figure out how to resize.

Thanks! We really had fun passing them out. The hard part was getting them on the ship. At least we didn't have to carry them back with us.

We loved your gifts!!!

Thanks!

I found the boards during one of Staples' back to school sales last summer. I used my Cricut machine to cut out the ships and waves. Then I laminated the sets and used double-sided tape to adhere them to the boards.

This was an awesome group! We have our dummy booking all ready to transfer to a 2014 cruise!

I need opinions!!!!!

So I found this on pinterest and I think it would be adorable to make. Not the whole garland per family (because I wouldn't want it to break...) but do a couple of them with twine...

Make X-mas ornaments? Add a sea urchin because why not?

We ordered the luggage tags from E-bay, and bought the paper and ribbon at Hobby Lobby.

I thought I would like to make these (they don't look too hard and I am NOT crafty) BUT I can not find the empty luggage tags anywhere. Do you know who you purchased them from on EBay?

Jason,

Mail me a Princess one. DD saw it and "has" to have one. She says, "Mom, you got a red & a plaid. I didn't get one & he made princess ones!!!" I'll cover shipping.

You did a great job!! I'm actually an avid sewer (Scott can see also - his Mom taught Home Ec for years - he even made a camera strap out of his Castaway Club luggage strap from DCL) - I make DD's Halloween costume every year. In fact, 2 yrs ago I made her be a pirate. Why? So that she could wear it on our cruises on pirate night!!! (Yes, it still fits) Last year, I made her Sleeping Beauty & when she met her on the cruise, Aurora was SHOCKED. She couldn't get over the authenticness of her costume. Brought a smile to her face.

OMG. I digress!! Anyways, I can appreciate the sewing. That's what I was leading up to. GREAT JOB!!!

 

[Silverfox97]

Crap. I need to make these too. THE HEADBANDS ARE ADORABLE!!!!

I teach kindergarten and for years made salt dough cookie cutter ornaments with my class. However I've switched to Model Magic. The salt dough can break easily (or cannot...depends on the kid!!) But we've been very successful with model magic and it doesn't get that 'salty appearance' after a few years!

The effect is essentially the same.

Just a thought, especially if you are transporting them!!
