My little boy has to have a damaged front tooth extracted, so I needed to get to work on a Tooth Fairy Pillow. This is what I came up with.
Mr. Happy Tooth.
I am just getting into embroidery and I had fun with it here. I think it makes the tooth look a little vintage-y.
On the back, I put a little pocket for my son's tooth. I asked him to pick the fabric and he wanted dots (from my Gypsy quilt). And then, when I asked him what shape he wanted the pocket to be, he said "a circle." Great, a challenge!
At the last minute, I went back and embroidered the year ('11) on the back of Mr. Tooth's "foot."
I was very happy with my son's reaction. He loved Mr. Tooth and slept with it last night. Awww.
what a cute pillow Fabulous idea.Im Glad your son loves him.i liked how you have embroider the year on to his food.

Hee hee the little circle pocket looks like a cute little bunny tail. I love the fabric you used for it, and the embriodery (esp. the date idea!).
ReplyDeleteOh I love it! I found this while searching for good tooth fairy ideas and I really like your blog! I have a very similar situation. My almost-3-yr-old will be having an injured tooth extracted next week. (Oh and I found this Mom's Guide to be a great resource lately- it's how I discovered the bump on his gum was an infection: http://www.1dental.com/moms-guide/) This pillow is so cute and totally do-able for my skill level... and the amount of time I have to get it done! :) Here's to our boys not injuring any more teeth!
