We hit an exciting milestone in our house this morning. My daughter lost her first tooth. She has been so anxious to lose a tooth ever since her big brother lost one about 2 years ago. She is so anxious for the tooth fairy to visit her AND she really wanted a monster tooth fairy pillow of her own.
Of course I had to make it a little more girly. She requested pink and purple, and she LOVES hearts. The fabric is a swirly scroll heart pattern. She hasn’t seen it yet, but I think she is really going to love it. I found some heart buttons in my stash, which I think really puts it over the top in the girly department.
These pillows come together very quickly. I used the instructions over at The Long Thread to make my pillows. The only changes I made were to the eyes. I cut hearts out of pink felt for the pink monster. On the green monster, I skipped the felt all together and just used large buttons.
Here is my little cutie right after we pulled the tooth. It had been hanging on by a thread for a week, so we finally just pulled it.
Oh and it was worth a mention that the Tooth Fairy isn’t that generous at our house. I had to raid my wallet for the photo shoot. I think the Tooth Fairy sticks to dollar bills usually.
Does the Tooth Fairy get up to anything special at your house? Let me know in the comments.
Those are super cute, what a great idea ~ Lisa
adorable!
OMG these are SO cute. The tooth fairy just leaves cold hard cash at our house.
These are so cute. I heard the average the tooth fairy leaves now is $4 and some odd sense WOW
I think this would be great for my nephews birthday in Oct….
These are so great! Love them! I’m totally down for making one of these, however, my kids get more along the lines of 3 shiny quarters per tooth! Maybe a buck 😉
What a cute pillow! I’m acquainted with the cheap tooth fairy as well…a dollar in quarters are most common.
So cute! love these
What an awesome idea! Little toys, coins or cash can fit in the ‘mouth’ without getting lost under the bed!!
This looks amazing!! I love it!! I would love to invite you to link it up at our new party Lovely Ladies Linky where you link up once and get seen on 6 blogs!! Link up starts Wednesdays! http://www.lifewiththecrustcutoff.com/lovely-ladies-link-up-link-up-1/

These are adorable! My kids would love them!
Thanks for linking up with It’s a Mom’s Life. I hope you’ll join us again this week (starting tonight!)
Our son has not lost any of his teeth yet but I’m going to have to get on it and make something soon. These pillows are so cute. I’ve seen tooth shaped ones but I like monsters better. 🙂
Cutest pillows that I have seen and perfect for rewarding the little ones
This is precious!!! Great idea that helps the tooth fairy find the tooth easier!
Super cute!
This is so adorable! I might have to make something like this for my niece and nephew soon.
Love these. My daughter is almost done, but my boys haven’t started to lose theirs yet.
