If you’re anything like me, your needles and pins tend to wander which is really terrible when they wander somewhere your feet tend to go too *_* I have a pin cushion but I don’t like keeping needles in there so I set about making myself a little needle case.
This is what I ended up with:

What I used:
First thing, trace around the outside of your container onto the pretty paper and cut out 2 of that shape.
You should have something like this:
Fit them into the inside of the container. They should be very snug so they don’t fall out.
Alternatively you could paint the container, here’s one I did another time to hold my letter writing stuff:
Now cut out a bunch of felt pieces which also fit on the inside. I cut mine in both full length and sections:
Then stitch them together down the side to form a booklet:
And using the glue gun put a line of glue down the spine and glue it into the container.
Like this:
When you close it all it will look like this:
I decided to add another strip of felt on the other side to hold my most used needles:
Add your needles or pins!
And decorate the front! I used some diamantes from my stash ^_^
A cell phone charm to make it easy to carry and find and it’s all finished!
Now there will be no more stepping on them or losing them and the case is pretty damn cute if I do say so myself XD What do you all think? |
