Think about it... if you were a child, wouldn't you be afraid of a fairy coming into your room while you were sleeping???? This little tooth fairy bag is the perfect solution because it can be hung outside a child's room.
It is a great size for a tooth and a coin or two, and it is quick and easy to make with scraps of felt and ribbon.
You can make your own using this tutorial as a guide, or you can buy one from me at Cute as a Button Designs. Here is how I made it:
You can make your own using this tutorial as a guide, or you can buy one from me at Cute as a Button Designs. Here is how I made it:
You will need:
- a 6cm X 12cm piece of scrap felt
- a small piece of white scrap felt (for a tooth)
- a 19cm length of ribbon
- thread and a needle
- scissors
Directions:
Cut a small tooth shape out of a piece of white scrap felt and stitch it to the top section of the 6cm X 12 cm rectangle of felt.
Flip the felt over (so that the "wrong side" is facing up and the tooth is on the bottom) and stitch on the ribbon.
Fold the fabric in half (so that the tooth is on the front of the bag) and stitch the two sides closed -- leaving an opening at the top.
I made three blue ones for my boys.
Now everyone can sleep soundly knowing that the tooth fairy won't be going in anyone's room in the middle of the night {wink}!
