I actually made this last year, in a panic, as I felt like it could be any time that my daughter lost her first tooth! She discovered a wobbly tooth back in February, which is when I presented her with this...
She loved it as much as I'd hoped she would! However, we are still awaiting the wobbly tooth to fall out... she since has claimed she has 13 wobbly tooth, so I am now questioning whether there is even one! (She won't let me feel around to check!)
The back of it has a little pocket for Emily to put her tooth, and the tooth fairy to pop a coin in when she takes the tooth!
I cut out felt and embroidered the face onto the tooth shape. I hand-sewed it all together, with white felt and pink and gold glitter felt for the wings and crown. I used my Cricut Joy to cut out the letters for "Emily's tooth" and the little stars, out of iron-on vinyl.
I'm so pleased with how it came out - it was as good, if not better, than I had imagined! Very satisfying when that happens!
I will need to make a similar one for my son, who starts school in September. I'm just not sure how to vary it for him. He has said he doesn't want a crown, but I'm not sure quite what direction to go with his! We shall see...
