Are you and your child ready for that first lost tooth? These tooth fairy pillows are super adorable and perfect for 5 and 6 year old hands to put together. Follow along with our tutorial and teach your child how to make a whip stitch.
Cut out two hearts the same size using the felt sheets.There are two ways to put the heart together. One is called the whip stitch, where you use a needle and thread to whip around the edge of the felt to sew it together. If you want to make it super easy you can just hot glue the pieces together. We tried doing the whip stitch and it was super fun and doable for our 5-year-old. Make sure to leave a small hole at the bottom for stuffing.
Cut out a little square from the felt and the letter “T” for Tooth and hot glue it onto the front of the tooth fairy pillow. Make sure to leave the top part open to have a tooth pocket.
Stuff the pillow with pom poms to make it nice and fluffy. Then sew up the hole or hot glue it shut.
Now for the fun part. Place the tooth in the pocket of the tooth fairy pillow and have your child place it under their pillow. And I think you know the rest.
