Patent ID: 7946424

Claim:
A container for the arrangement and temporary positional securement of beading elements, the container comprising: a base member defining a top surface and bottom surface, a fabric design liner secured with the top surface of the base member, the design liner being resiliently deformable and being of substantially uniform thickness, the design liner defining a substantially planar design surface for supporting the beading elements during arrangement of the beading elements, the design liner being substantially free of recesses for the bead elements to allow for free-form designing, and the design liner including a plurality of hair-like filamentary gripping members adapted to engage beading elements for retaining a free-form design of beading elements on the design liner without recesses when the container is in the open condition; a lid member defining a top surface and a bottom surface; a lid liner comprising a layer of resiliently deformable material secured with the bottom surface of the lid member, the lid liner being of substantially uniform thickness and defining a substantially planar lid surface; and the lid member being engageable with the base member such that when the container is in a dosed condition the lid surface engages the design surface and beading elements such that the beading elements resiliently deform the design liner and are positionally secured between the design liner and the lid liner.
