Free Tooth Fairy Pillow Pattern
You’ll need some white felt, craft eyes, hot glue (or craft glue) and colored felt scraps for accessories, you know, like high heels and a crown, haha. We glued the details onto the tooth pillow, but embroidery or hand stitching the mouth and eyes on works too.
You can add a tiny amount of pillow stuffing in between the layers if you’d like. We did this for a couple of them but left it out for the others. It just gives the tooth a bit more of a pillowy fullness.
Print out a copy of the printable tooth shape template and let’s get started!
