I just got a beautiful new Nikon Coolpix for Christmas. I am terribly hard on electronics/gadgets etc., because I tend to throw them in my purse with a bunch of other stuff prompting the screen to get scratched, it to get beat up, etc.

I would like to make my own little beaded carrying case for my camera, so I can take it anywhere without worrying about beating it up. I didn't look to far, but does anyone have any good ideas for this? Also, my supplies and tools are pretty limited, so something I may not need a sewing machine for would be nice (I guess with the size of the camera, hand stitching wouldn't be that bad)

The camera is about 3 inches tall, 1 inch thick, and 5 inches wide.

Input/ideas welcome

My 15 month old LOVES Yo Gabba Gabba, it's like magic. I didn't know there were patterns for this, but I will definitely be getting one or two now!
