Such an awesome idea! Way to go. Great FE gift

That's awesome! My 17 year old DS would LOVE that!!
Maybe your son should sell them.

He does, but I'm not allowed to say where or I will get a ticket from the board monitor.

My wife and I have been having so much fun making things for our first DCL cruise and FE exchange.
We are getting our groups finalized so we know exactly how many things we need to make.
We are going to have our boys help make the gifts for the other children as well as have them help take things around to the other cabins.
So much fun!

My family is preparing for our first DCL cruise, 9/21/13. How do I sign up to join FE group and then how will I know approximately how many FE gifts I need. I have a few ideas and all my stuff to make our FE!

We are on that cruise also and doing fe for the first time (main group)I know the main fe group already closed. It had about 42 cabinn and abt 132 people. Looks like they have opened a 2nd fe group for that sailing. It has abt 12 cabins and 40 people. Closes in 12 day i think they said. Go to this link and ask to join http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=49232662#post49232662 its the meetup for this sailing. Hopes this helps

I found them on Etsy. Just search "mickey moose fabric". I found a lot of nice fabric on there.

Where did you find these Mickey and Minnie charms? I've seen them used by someone on etsy but she hasn't responded to my questions about sourcing them . . .

Thanks!

I found them on eBay! I think you have to search 'mouse head charm' as opposed to Mickey charm

I posted what I did for our Repo cruise a while ago, but totally forgot to post what I did for out Alaska cruise. So here it is:













The black Mickey head is actually covered in rhinestones and I made brooches for the women out of this.

The story of the ties and people wearing them for the pics almost brought tears to me eyes .... Yeah for your son !

I haven't made it through the whole thread but love the cup and punch outs idea too !

 

[NEDisneyFans]

I was hoping for more but that helps me cause I was only finding them in packs of 2. I will take 6...LOL I was thinking 20 or so. I have a similar idea for the teen girls and older. Thanks so much for the info!

I found packs of six bottles at Oriental Trading dot com for $6.50! They are listed as "Bottle Charms With Cork Stopper" (item # IN-68/46106), just in case the link below doesn't work:

Doing something similar, but my cruise won't be 'til 2015.

The cufflinks are a brilliant idea!!

The cufflinks are a brilliant idea!!

Men are quite a challenge to gift to. I have done variations on the cufflinks before and have also done a tie clip on a previous cruise.

I agree. This is a great idea. I'm thinking that even if they aren't "suit" types, they might at least wear a dress shirt at least once during the cruise?

Here are the gifts that I also gave to people doing multiple groups:

For women and girls:

Corinna,

Love all of your FE's, but the Hidden Mickey Necklace in particular I would like do for my family cruise, there are 6 adult women and this is perfect! Could you PM me the images?

I'd like to make the tile coasters for my next FE, but I keep reading about the Mod Podge being sticky even after the poly spray, etc.

Has anyone figured out a good way to make sure they don't get sticky? My friend suggested using epoxy as a seal, but then I can't make too many if I use the epoxy since I can't work that fast (it hardens). I'd like to do a batch of at least 40 coasters.

Thanks!
