How To Make A Tooth Fairy Pillow With Template

Start this how to make a tooth fairy pillow sewing tutorial by downloading the free tooth fairy pillow template and printing it on your home computer.

Once you have it printed out, just cut out the template pieces with craft scissors. Now, you are ready to cut your fabric.

Step 1 – Cut Felt

Trace the paper templates onto felt sheets in the colors of your choice. You will need two of the tooth template and one rectangle for the pocket. Carefully cut out the shapes with scissors. Now we can start putting this tooth fairy pillow together!

Step 2 – Add the Pocket

Next on this how to make a tooth fairy pillow sewing tutorial, we will attach the pocket for the tooth to go in/money. Place the rectangle on top of the tooth cutout that will be the front of the tooth fairy pillow. Center it, and insert a straight pin to hold the pieces in place.

Step 3 – Sew the Pocket

Now it’s time to sew! Using a sewing machine, stitch around the sides and bottom of the rectangle to from the pocket. Leave the top open so it forms a pocket. You can also hand stitch this step if you want.

Remove the straight pin.

Step 4 – Assemble the Tooth Cutouts

Next on this how to make a tooth fairy pillow sewing tutorial, we will make the body of the pillow. Place the two tooth shaped cutouts on top of each other with right sides together. Clip or pin in place.

Step 5 – Stitch Perimeter

Now, machine or hand stitch around the perimeter of the tooth, leaving a 2″ opening on one side. I stitched as close to the edge as I could. Make sure you leave that gap so you can turn the pillow right side out in a later step.

It should look like the photo above when you are done.

Step 6 – Turn Right Side Out

Now on this how to make a tooth fairy pillow sewing tutorial, pull the tooth through the opening you left to flip it right side out. A turning tool can be helpful to gently press out the points.

Step 7 – Stuff It

Then stuff the tooth with Poly-fil. Use the stuffing tool provided to push the fiber fill into all the points and corners. You can stuff it to whatever firmness you perfect for your tooth fairy pillow.

Step 8 – Close

Now all that is left to do on this tooth fairy pillow sewing tutorial is to sew the opening closed. Turn the edges of the opening under and clip or pin them to hold in place while you hand stitch it closed.

I prefer do this step by hand because I can make it really clean by using a ladder stitch or something similar to make the seam flush.

And that’s it! Now you know how to make a tooth fairy pillow with free pattern! This is a fun little project that takes almost no time at all. If your littles are starting to lose their baby teeth, this is the perfect way for you, I mean the tooth fairy, to collect their teeth so they aren’t forever lost somewhere in their beds.

Use and Care

To use the tooth fairy pillow, insert a tooth into the pocket before going to sleep. At night, the tooth fairy will replace the tooth with a treat! A treat may consist of money, a small toy, a note, or something else special. Machine wash the pillow as needed.
