Mini Mario Messenger Bag!!

[guster]

Mario needed his own tiny purse...er...messen ger bag, about one Nintendo DS game wide, and one Nintendo DS game tall (or about 1 3/8" x 1 1/4" for non-gamers).  Mario is so excited to have a case to safely store himself (or one coin, should he require a coin purse instead)!


Shot of the bag next to the game it holds.


It even has a tiny snap!!  How cute is that?!


Cross-stitched Mario still on the hoop.

(My husband is quite happy.)

!! I finally got it! I've been seeing so many totally awesome miniatures and thinking 'wow, these are so cool, wonder why everyones on a mini-kick?'. Duh. Challenge. (more like I'm challenged )

But about your bag! Thats so cool, with the embroidery. I second the Luigi idea. He could go on the back. Or it could have a 'shoulder' strap, to make it more messenger bag-esque. But neat reguardless.

That is adorable! That is really tiny cross stitch! I think my eyes would go buggy! Great job!

I planned to make a set of six, but I have only finished Mario so far.  There will also be Luigi, Princess, mushroom, turnip, and shy guy bags.

Sometimes I worry about a lone DS game being exposed to extreme temperatures, erosion, hazardous materials in vaporous form, etc. while it's not in the system.  Your design solves that issue expertly, and allows you to accessorize your very small object with a beautiful, classic Mario image! 

THERE SHOULD BE MORE VERY SMALL CASES FOR VERY SMALL OBJECTS.  I don't mean in this challenge; I mean in the world.  And this is an excellent very small case.
