Adorable, I love it and your price is fair and you should do well. Something different at a craft show, what a unique idea. Something different than jewelry, let us know how you do.

I love them so much I wonder if you would mind if I used your idea, I belong to a small quilting group and would love to make them each one aspart of their Christmas present. I promise I will let them know where the idea came from.

Yes of course..I think they'd love them!

Thanks, what would be a good weight for quilting needles?

I'm not sure. Was told 28 gauge but I found it bends a lot. I am not too familiar with beading til now

Thanks, I will take a few different size needles with me and check out various sizes and will post what I find. Another example of how great this board is, we share so many wonderful ideas with others all around the world.

What size wire
 
I love your beaded needle threaders, but I wonder what size of wire you used? I see the wire is twisted under the top bead. I have many beads stored at my winter home, can't wait to try this. Is the wire too thick for a fine needle? Big thanks to you for sharing the idea. I assume, this last longer than Wal-Mart or JoAnn's needle threaders.
