I use a wooden paint stirrer. It is free, light, and when working in a narrow area, can be used on its side.

Made one out of a 3" plywood square from hobby lobby one time. 3mm thick. Worked good. I'd show a pic but it's buried under a mound of junk on my bench

Ah! Of Course! It's a Thingy!

Perhaps I'll get round to making one, one day.

I think it turned out great. I like how colorful it is and that it is easy to carry. 

I bet the lace reached the county, . That  is more double loop stitching than I have done in all my years in the craft.

For the closure maybe something like a hand clutch closure . You could put the female part on the top flap and attach the male end to the end of a strap and wrap it around like your string. I would hate to do to much more than that, it might ruin the beautiful scenery you tooled. Let us know what you come up with.

Wow, that's a huge piece, was not expecting that!  Fantastic work.  And thanks for the pointers for anyone making something similar.

Looks great.  Maybe someday I'll take on some painting / dying like that.

For a closure, how about just a tooled leather strap and buckle?  Tool and color it to complement your current design, then you could possibly attach it to the back of the case or just leave it unattached like your current bootlace.

All I can say is wow!  that sure beats carrying them around in an old plastic pretzel container.  Stunning!

Thanks to all of you for your comments and your advice! @PastorBob, my wife is happy that I'm returning her Tupperware container to the kitchen.
