Angie lost her first tooth today.
I had hoped for a bit more time between the tooth loosening and actually falling out. Mostly because I needed to buy pink embroidery cotton to make her a tooth pillow. (How did I not have any pink embroidery cotton in the house? Surely it should be a girlmom staple, along with glitter, stickers and a drawer full of hairbands.)
So, as cute as it is, this little tooth pillow is just an interim pillow. I’m going to make a proper one (i.e. pinker one) for Angie. Hopefully before the next tooth comes out.
Want to make your own?
Materials: cardboard, white felt, scissors, fabric glue, a needle, embroidery cotton, stuffing.
To make:
1. Cut a tooth template from the cardboard. (I used a piece of a cereal box.) Trace two teeth on the felt.
2. Cut out the teeth shapes. Cut a small piece of felt for the pocket.
3. Glue the pocket in place. Optional: sew around the edges of the pocket to zhoozh it up.
4. Stitch the front and back of the tooth pillow together, leaving a small gap. (Note: It’s a lot easier if the gap is at the top or on the outer edge of the tooth.)
5. Stuff the tooth and stitch closed.
Where does your child leave his/her teeth? Does the Tooth Fairy or the Tooth Mouse visit your house?

Thank you!
I thought this project was adorable. I’m sure your daughter enjoyed receiving such a nice gift from the tooth fairy.
I think I was more excited about it than she was. 🙂
We had little tooth boxes my mom found at a craft fair growing up. I’d been hoping to find some for my kids… but those tooth fairy days are quickly approaching…. Might have to make them

They are so quick and easy to make.
This is an amazing idea! We have a tooth fairy bear and I ALWAYS forget to put the money in! What would make this even better for me is if it hung outside the door! 🙂
