engineering needle storage (pic fiesta- ole!) EDIT:W/TUTORIAL

[KittyCreates]

Ooo I love the textbook needle holder!  Looks like you've got quite a collection.

thanks ladies! I added a tutorial, now I want to see more interpretations of my idea, I'm very happy with the combination or form and function.

and I got all those needles from thrift stores (except for some of the circulars, they were on sale at Joanns or something)

Wow!!!!!!! that's really cool!! I am making a needle holder like you. Except that it's not made from a book, just fabric. I hope mine turns out as great as yours!!

This is such a good idea!  If you added a handle to it, it could be like the book purse that other people have made on here and then you could carry it places with you.

Totally inspirational (and awesome)!

good point, I thought about that, but I decided it would be cool to have storage that looks like a book that I could keep on my bookshelf. Maybe I'll make another with a zipper around the outside that closes like a binder and keeps all the little stuff from falling out

okay i have finished mine, not as gorgeous as yours but hey it gets the job done. one more time now: that looks sooooooooo cool!!

Thanks so much for the detailed instructions--you made it look very do-able. Great project--I'll start one as soon as I find a cool book to tear apart.

I appreciate the time you took to write the tute!

This thing owns...but why is hot glue so bad?
I'm not a textile person, but I am a cosplayer...and hot glue has saved my life...
