Tooth Fairy Pouch

My little girl lost her first tooth last night, and I sewed up a little pouch that she could put her tooth in and stick under her pillow. I didn’t want the teeny tiny tooth to get lost under the pillow, and risk the tooth fairy waking her up during the tooth/loot exchange.

The tooth fairy left her $2 – its probably lower than some of her peers have gotten but she was excited about it so I’m glad the fairy didn’t second-guess herself and leave more than that.

I made the pouch out of felt. It was quite simple, just a rectangle folded over and stitched with crochet thread, with a button my daughter picked to keep it closed. I also personalized it with her name embroidered on the flap. Its kind of rustic, since she pulled her tooth out at about 5:45pm and I had to leave the house to go to a meeting at 6:45pm, and cook dinner at the same time.
