My oldest has started losing baby teeth. He has lost 4 so far, and there are more to come. Teeth, once removed from a mouth, are gross. I don’t want to touch them if I can help it. So I came up with these little tooth-shaped felt pockets. I can whip up a bunch of them quick and easy. My son can slip the latest casualty of growing up into one, and slip it under his pillow. The tooth fairy can remove it, toss it in the garbage (one that he won’t see), and replace it with a fresh tooth pouch that has a golden dollar coin tucked into it (though a folded dollar would work just as well… so would a quarter if your tooth fairy hasn’t given in to inflation.
Supplies:
White Felt
Marker
Scissors
Hot Glue
Tooth Template
Trace the template onto the felt.
Cut out the template…
… and trace onto the felt.
Cut out a double layer of the felt.
Fold one of the layers in half, and cut a slit for the pocket.
Use hot glue to secure the two layers together, at the edges.
Use scissors to trim along the edge, cutting off any of the tracing lines. This is optional, but it looks nicer.
Your tooth pocket is just about ready… it needs one more thing…
Tuck a coin inside it!
