MSD Carrier Case - Fin

Getting back to work, even though I was tired to the bone, I managed to finish it! Need to figure out a better way to secure the handle as hot glue just doesn't quite do it. At least I don't need it before April, so have time to have a look at it before then.

Was, perhaps, a bit on the lazy side when it came to the satin lining in the bottom part. Simply put it in place using needles, but thought if, by chance, it got dirty it would be easy to swap out or wash this way, plus, who'd really notice unless you were really looking?
Don't know if I should add straps so that one could carry it over ones shoulder and not be dependent on the handle alone, or if this wont really matter in the long run. Should? Shouldn't? My tired head can't decide.

Love how much of a Rozen Maiden vibe it has got, which wasn't even my intention to begin with. Sad part is he wont be springing to life, the little guy who's going to reside in this, when the time comes. Would be neat tho!

Hope you enjoyed and that it brought forth some inspiration! Thanks for looking!

EDIT

Ended up adding a strap for over the shoulder carrying, and reinforced the handle as hot glue alone just didn't quite do it.

MSD Carrier Case - WIP

Started making this quite on a whim last night. I needed boxes to store some bits and bobs in for an upcoming con, and looking around the room my eyes fell on this great old box. It was the perfect length for a regular MSD, while also having more than enough room to make several smaller compartments for storage purposes.

First up was dealing with the exterior of the old cardboard box, had some nice wallpaper like packaging paper laying around and it was just enough to cover it up nicely.

After that I needed to figure out what to do about the interior, had some upholstery foam laying around that was perfect for the purpose.

Cutting out proper sized pieces and gluing them in place it slowly took form

Added a few pieces of metal to hold the antlers in place as I didn't want them to be able slipping around, and now that they did have magnets in them why then tie them down?

Also added some little legs and other metal embellishment on the outside to give it a fancy look and feel.

Going to line the interior with ivory satin, add ribbon to be able to securely hold the doll in place, sew little pillows, add a handle, and, perhaps, see what I can do about making it a tad water resistant now that I am at it.

I hope being able to finish the rest today, stay tuned!
