What I used:
- Plastic case that some nail supplies came in. You could either make something similar out of felt or find something along these lines.
- Pretty paper or paint
- Pen, scissors
- Felt
- Needle and thread
- Glue gun
- Decorations eg. rhinestones.
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? |

:D Hopefully not more needle accidents now hahaha!
So cute! It looks like a cell phone case! I have a couple different pin cushions but I’m always loosing the sewing needles from it. I’ll buy a pack, and then within a few months I’ll discover I only have one left. It’s a mystery where they go D:
Haha it does look like a call phone case XD I am exactly the same way with the sewing needles, I’m always worried I’m going to find them all one day somewhere really unpleasant!
oh my bieber god! you’re so creative ~ ! eye spasm. my eyes are literally twitching from envy and cute overload! *raises fist to bieber god* why must some people be born cute with the magic touch. Well you must fedex me your awesomness.. if thats possible to fedex a characteristic. I love the pattern and crystal art on the needle case. I really wouldve never thought of that. brilliantly done~ ! <3
XD Hahaha thank you very much for your adorable comment Maki!
It is very cute case! Good idea and nice design. I like this kitties attached on the side :)
Heehee I love the kitties too!
Lovely idea- you could make matching items in different sizes for different craft bits and pieces! That would be so cute AND organised: WIN!
You totally could! Cute + Organised = Win is the best equation ever!
Awww looks so cute ^^
The design would be great as a phone case too :p
You’re totally right :D I need a new phone case too!
The way you decorated it, it looks like a phone!
Very cute :D
Haha everyone’s been saying that! I didn’t notice until it was pointed out XD
i LOVE this violet! soo cute and handy!!
I’m glad you like it!
Hehehe, I need one of those too:D I often lose sewing needles without round heads:(
Me too! They are so hard to keep track of >_< I'm always scared to step on one!
Such a clever idea i always love your tutorials!
