I've been using some tiny plastic tubes with small red stoppers as needlecases for the past few years. They were just supposed to be temporary until I could find a vintage one I liked....then I realized last week that they're not very temporary and I'd better just bead one because I don't know if I'll ever find a vintage one that I both like and can afford! So this is all done with charlottes and a small six-sided nailhead on the bottom and I replaced the red top with a cork one that goes better with the colors of the charlottes. And, of course, then I had to make a new little bottle cap pin cushion to match...LOL! These guys are really fun to make and the instruction are here, if anyone wants to give them a try.

I like your needle case. I want to bead a pair of drumsticks like that... :)
If you decide to do that diana, I'd suggest using size 11 true cuts instead of size 13 charlottes....obviously you're capable of long term projects, but drumsticks would take a realllly long time!
p.s. the needlecase, which has a 3/8 inch diameter and is 2 & 5/8 inches long, took me about 5 hours to bead in charlottes....
