Toothfairy craft12/8/2023 Follow along with her daily posts on Facebook. She likes to keep expectations low by avoiding craft projects that involve any real crafting. Roxanne Ferber is a twin mom, blogger and freelance writer. So keeping some pre-filled bags between payouts means I won’t be caught off guard the night a tooth falls out.ĭo you go all out for the tooth fairy, or do you keep it simple? Trace a tooth on a piece of paper and then. If there are any decals or pictures on the front of your princess dress you will want to make your foam tooth big enough to cover them. I just know that having twins means double the magic and double the tooth fairy money. One for the front of your dress, one for the crown, and two to sandwich over your toothbrush wand. I have heard of parents giving their kids $5 per tooth, or $20 for the first tooth and some parents put together an entire basket of gifts. We fill our bags with one gold dollar coin and five chocolate coins. Clip the seams at the curves, so they will lie smoothly when turned. Sew the edges using a 1/4-inch seam allowance, leaving about 2 1/2 inches on one side open. You can sew piping, eyelet trim, or lace along the seams at this point if you want. Allow the glue to dry overnight and before filling with treats. Place the right sides of the tooth pillow pieces together matching the edges, and pin in place. You can leave it at the end of a chopstick, a pencil or paint brush to keep the bag open while it dries. Once the tooth is on the baggie, wait a few minutes before removing the wax paper. Since you are working with an organza bag the glue will seep through and make a mess. If you cut a small square of wax paper to fit inside the bag it will keep the glue from sealing the bag closed.īegin by inserting the wax paper into the bag before applying the felt shaped tooth. Allow time for the glue to dry before attaching the tooth shape to the bag. If you’d like cute little pink cheeks, dip a pencil eraser, small dowel, or the end of a round paint brush (whatever you have on hand) into the pink paint and apply at the ends of the smile. To make the face, I cut the string into two inch pieces and glued to the felt, next I glued on the eyes. I found the tooth shape online and printed it out to trace and cut the felt shapes for all six bags. You can read my original post here, or scroll below for the step by step directions.Ħ Medium organza gift bags (you can find at the dollar store) Thankfully, I was already ahead of myself with this easy system. I couldn’t get the usual chocolate coins, or the gold dollar coin our tooth fairy traditionally leaves behind. It especially came in handy during the COVID quarantine when businesses closed. This system has worked for me for several years. Once they are asleep, I just swap out for the pre-filled baggie. I made six at once and I keep 4 of the baggies pre-filled at all times so the tooth fairy never misses a stop! The other 2 bags I leave empty, one for each kiddo to collect their fallen teeth and leave under the pillow. I shared in my moms only group this week that I use these simple little DIY baggies to automate our tooth fairy giving. And there are some moms who can’t resist a cute DIY. Turns out moms want easy crafts, preferably without glitter. Would you believe me if I told you that I used to work as a craft blogger? True story!
