Tooth Fairy kit with bracelets and glow stick to guide tooth fairy to your tooth pockets for tooth, reminder bracelets, and glow stick hang glow sitck on door to guide tooth fairy to the right bedroom

When my kids were small the loss of a tooth was a huge big deal but a couple of times I actually forgot  to take care of tooth fairy business. The same thing happened to my daughter so I came up with this idea to prevent tooth fairy disasters. There is a glow stick to guide the tooth fairy to the right room and a pocket to place tooth in. There are also beaded bracelets to help you remember your duties and one for the child to wear that proclaims, “I lost a tooth.”   The pouch is designed to hang on door knob or bed post and is really easy to make.

Material:

  • small piece of fabric (I found my fabric at Wal Mart)
  • ribbon
  • glow stick
  • alphabet beads
  • solid color beads
  • stretchy beading cord and needle

cut three pieces for front of pouch

Step 1

Cut three pieces of fabric measuring 4  1/2″,   6  1/2″,  and  9   1/2″ X 7″.  Also cut out an extra 9  1/2″ piece for the back.

turn under a quarter inch at the top of the two smaller pieces of fabric sew a piece of ribbon at the top of small pieces as shown

Step 2.

Fold over a quarter inch at the top of both of the smaller pieces and press. Stitch a piece of contrasting ribbon across the top of both pieces.

place the two smaller pieces onto the large piece

Step 3.

Place the medium size piece on top of the large piece. Place the small piece on top of the medium piece as shown. Pin in place with all pieces even at the bottom. Stitch around sides and bottom.

pin front piece to back piece with right sides together stitch around sides and bottom

Step 4.

Stitch around sides and bottom and then turn to the right side through the opening at the top. Press.

turn under a half inch at top and press Stick ribbon in and stitch top closed

Step 5.

Turn under a half inch at top and press. Cut a piece of ribbon to hang pouch and stick each end of ribbon in corners as shown. Stitch across the top.

Make a mommy reminder bracelet with alphabet beads Make a bracelet for child that proclaims the loss of a tooth

Step 6.

Using alphabet beads and solid color beads make a reminder bracelet for mom or dad that says, “tooth fairy time” and a bracelet for child that says, “I lost a tooth!” I used the stretchy beading cord and a beading needle. I doubled my cord for added strength.

Put the tooth in the pocket at bedtime hang the glow stick on the door to guide the tooth fairy to the right room

Step 6.

Use the pockets to store the glow stick and bracelets until the big night. Then place the tooth in one of the pockets and hang on the door or bed post. Wear your reminder bracelet until you have completed your tooth fairy assistant duties. The glow stick is an additional reminder! The tooth fairy can place the money in the pocket when the tooth is collected so that your child will know right where to look in the morning.

About Elaine Kazinec

I have never met anyone who can't make wonderful things for their homes, friends, and family, only those who think they can't. The purpose of this blog is to show everyone how really simple most projects for the home are to make. When my husband and I bought our first home we were short on cash so I learned to be long on creativity. I have been told that I can make something wonderful out of nothing and that is true. You can too! Some of my favorite things are items that I found in someone's junk pile. I am going to show you how easy it really is. I hope you find the courage to jump in and attempt some of these projects. You will be amazed at how talented you really are.
