Sorry, just realized you are making necklaces

so yes, just the jump rings & punch. For the magnets, make sure you use the powerful kind, not the really cheap small ones. They won't stick. Heres some I made...

I did these ones too on clothes pegs, it's a really bad pic, but you get the idea....

and a few more hair bows depending on the girls have characters...

Thanks so much for the info!

Can I ask where you found all the character circles for the bottle caps?
That's obviously key for this project!

I'm off to Michael's now to find the hole punch!

I think the magnets I ordered from Amazon are strong enough....they looked thick anyway! That's where I got the epoxy circles and bottle caps. Come to think of it, I guess I need to get a 1" hole punch at Michael's too!

This is our first Disney cruise so first FE (and no, haven't actually contemplated how I will make that!) did you make yours? Can you post a picture?!

Today we were at the beach (75 degree day here in Boston....beach weather in our world plus it's school vacation) and I remembered that last summer we found about 50 sand dollars! So I thought I might also make sand dollar ornaments by mod podging (is that a word?!) some Disney image on the front!

I would love to find a high resolution image of Mickey in front of the NY skyline and/or Mickey by the Statue of Liberty. I googled and found one but it is too low resolution.

Anyway, I guess I"m just excited for my ideas! In some life I was crafty but then motherhood happened and unlike many of you, I leave the crafting by the wayside!

Thanks again for any other suggestions/ideas!

May I receive the character circles as well?
I have been trying to find a source!

Many thanks!

Thanks in advance!

We have the Magic in the same script. Would that help?

That might work, maybe I can try to figure it out for the Fantasy by looking at the one for the Magic......Thanks a bunch!

I just saw bottle caps with the holes pre-punched at Michaels. Not sure if this helps anyone or saves a step.

cyluvsdisney · 04-21-2012, 06:27 PM

I need some help. I was thinking as part of my FE gift I want to give every cabin a customized pillow case so they can have it signed. My question is, do I need to include pens? If so, what type of pens? Permanent markers? Fabric markers? Different colors? Or just black?

Probably would have helped me but as I've got everything lined up (thanks clare for help!) I'm all set....but good to know if my metal hole punching skills aren't what they should be!!
