Fish Extender Gifts

What is a Fish Extender you may ask?  When you sail on Disney Cruise Line each stateroom has a small silver fish or seahorse outside of the stateroom door where you receive messages,etc.  A lot of the Disney online communities started using these fish extenders to hang a homemade pocket type organizer called a "fish extender", usually Disney themed, to receive gifts from other cabins.  It's a gift exchange that happens throughout the duration of the cruise you take. You then sign up to participate in the exchange.  We have sailed 7 times on Disney Cruise Line and have participated in 4 Fish Extender gift exchanges.  I am sailing again in 2018 and have started making my gifts using old Navigators from previous cruises to obtain the images to then be used with different Craft Fantastic products.




Once I picked my images I adhered the jeweler's glass and let dry.



Here are the some of the finished Fish Extender Gifts I made:



I especially liked the look of the new Southwest tray with the Ship Logo as it reminded me a bit like a compass.  Once all my gifts are ready I package them with 3x4 pocket scrapbooking cards and put in a plastic sleeve. Here are some gifts I made from when we cruised in 2016:




I found all of the above images using scrapbook paper demonstrating how easy it is to create all kinds of gifts using Craft Fantastic trays, key rings, and neckwear. 

The following Craft Fantastic items used in this post are:
