Nintendo DS Case

I wanted to share a Christmas present that I made for my fiancé last Christmas - it's a needlepoint Nintendo DS Lite case!  It is Earthbound-themed - if any of you are not familiar with the game, it's an awesome RPG for the Super Nintendo that we played for hours and hours together.  I definitely recommend it to everyone!  We were lucky enough to find a copy of the game, complete with it's original box and player's guide (which we tried not to peek at for hints!). 




The outside is done completely in needlepoint - this took many, many hours to complete since there are a LOT of stitches, not to mention the multiple sides!  The three characters on the case are Mr. Saturn, and the two playable characters (Ness and Paula).  Inside the case (as pictured), I lined it in pink felt.





On the back of the case, I carried on with the bright lime green background but stitched a little pink heart in the corner, as an added loving touch! 


I also made sure to include a space so you can recharge the DS while keeping the DS in its case!

This took a really long time to make (since we took a vacation in the middle of December, I was still scrambling to work on it on Christmas Eve!) but he totally loved it!  I tend to make a lot of crafts for the both of us first, and then decide whether or not to put similar ones up in my Etsy Shop, so he has received many crafty things over the years :)

Update:  My DS Case has been featured on some blogs!  You can read here at the Wonderland Blog and Kotaku.  Thanks so much to Alice & Kotaku!
