Homemade FE gifts - Part 2

[hardingk]

for those of you who have done the coaster post it note holders....where did you buy the sticky notes from? we have alot of cabins in our exchange, and i'm thinking that i'd maybe like to attempt to make these...but not sure about the cheapest place to buy a lot of sticky notes!

If its ok to use square shaped post-its, Staples has them on sale this week in their dollar deals. I think its 15 pads 3x3 for $5!

lakeside.com has some too. Not sure how much they are but I remember seeing them there too. Mine are the staples variety. The actual "Post it" brand would be too costly!

I made these for my FE gift in March, I went to Joann Fabrics w/ a coupon and got them 1/2 price. They were 6 for $3.50 or so?

You can usually find the coupons online if you don't already get them.

We returned last week from our wonderful Dream cruise. I went a little overboard making FE gifts. So here they are:
I made these frames for each family:

These are the necklaces I made for the women (they have hidden mickeys in them but you can't see that very well):

These are the necklaces I made for the girls. I tried to give them their first initial with their favorite princess or character:

I also made a post it note holder for each family and a matching Mickey pen:

I also gave each of the boys a plastic sword for pirate night and the men...well the men received this:

It was so much fun giving gifts and coming "home" to our cabin to find goodies in the FE! I highly encourage everyone to participate if they can.

How did you get the post it's to stay on without drooping down?! I tried one and the pad seemed like it was going to fall right off!

I used the double sided take and used 3-4 strips of the tape. I did have the post it notes on when I packed them and when I got to the ship some of the post-it-notes were coming off. Luckily I had the tape with me.

Our dollar store has a 4pk for $1.00

I squealed about the post it note pad - it is SO CUTE and is proudly displayed at home now. I had to save one postcard for my scrap book too. Your gifts were AWESOME and I know we all really appreciated your coordinating efforts!

So glad you liked them! I know what you mean about the postcards. There were a few left that I sent to folks back home...had to contain myself so I would have a couple left for scrapbooking!

I made fleece scarves for our FE gifts on our Alaskan cruise.

I love the Fimo mickey heads. How did you go about "creating" the perfect shaped (and size) head for the hair clips and pins? We have a ton of girls on our upcoming cruise and I would love to try this. Was it a mold?

TIA

Do you mean the lime green Mickey heads? They are not Fimo, but resin and were bought from a scrapbooking supplies Ebay store.

Corinna...we just LOVED your gifts....FE and others. Thank you!

Ladies....can one of you can point me in right direction? I was looking for those Hidden Mickey images and was asking here on boards and got nowhere. If someone has them and willing to share, please let me know....I might use them on future cruises.

Thank you!

Now tht my two latest cruises are over, I can post what I made. Bewteen the 2 cruises, I had about 50 cabins to deliver to. My original inspiration was the fact that Hawaii was going to be a 15 night cruise and I thoght maybe some poeple could use some games if they had down time in their rooms!

I hand pianted (not so well on some) mickey heads on the side of the dice with 1 dot, decorated the dice holder and then included some games along with balnk paper that could be played with the dice. I also made pens to match.

We loved your gifts too...very creative. Thank you!

Yes, the lime green ones. Post #243, first picture. Sorry, did not want to repost the entire thing. If I can purchase the heads already made, you made my day!

Do you still have the name of the ebay seller you could PM me?

Thanks!

PM with link on its way. They also have all kinds of other colours, but the lime green just tickled me because of the DIS connection.

I HAVE TO SAY these are my FAVORITE FE gifts EVER! What ADORABLE yet useful gifts! Your cruise mates were very lucky to get your gifts!

I hope you don't mind if I steal your idea. I am going to make these into stocking stuffers for Christmas for my family. I will have to incorporate a non Disney theme.
