Felt Tooth Fairy Pouches

Remember when loosing a tooth was exciting?  Man do I miss those days.  My friend's 6 year old, who has been the innocent victim of my crafting for a number of years now, has his first loose tooth.  He's excited and therefor so am I even if my own memories of loose teeth aren't exactly pleasant.  After the methods I saw to pulling the loose teeth, I was more than willing to keep my mouth shut (pun fully intended on that one) when it came to my own loose teeth.  So to kick off B's tooth fairy dreams right, I made him a cute little tooth fairy pouch I found off nowhere else than Pinterest.

The Purl Bee has this stinking cute tutorial for these little puppies.

Tooth Fair Pouch from Purl Bee

They take no time at all to make.  I sewed part of mine and only hand stitching the tooth on.  I wasn't brave enough to try and machine sew that part.

Sorry for the bad cell phone photo here.  I will get good photos of these eventually.

I didn't have the nice white yarn so I went with matching ribbon I did have as well.

Purl Bee sells all the supplies to make these from there website.  I don't have the same colors they have but you can buy the felt from my Etsy shop, StitchinCute, for a fraction of the price.  I bought the spool of ribbon at Walmart for 50 cents and used two strands of a white tone DMC embroidery floss for the tooth.

Super simple and super cute!

Pretty Felt! From Me to You!

So here we go, felt.  I have loved making my felt flowers but I got frustrated with the quality and colors.  

My favorite felt flower to date

I wanted all the pretty colors I saw everywhere but every fabric store I run into has these craft felt colors that just don't work for me.  I looked into buying sheets of felt and about fell over at the prices.  So here you are.  I'm going to try my hand at selling these wonderful colors of felt that I've seen with the quality of having actual wool included in the blend.  On top of that, since this is not an attempt at making an income to support myself on, I'm willing to, quite frankly, not make much off of it.  As with everything else I do, it doesn't happen all that quickly.  Here are two of my first packs of felt to offer you.  I have a listing for both a set of 8 sheets and a set of 16.  Eventually, I hope to have some fun stuff for you to make with these.  That's the plan at least.

Sweetheart Valentines Wool Felt Pack

Rustic Christmas Wool Felt Pack

Oh yeah, the best part of all. The felt is made 100% in the USA. It sure means something to me to be able to support my own country. Details of the wool blend can be found on the Etsy listing. I have plenty more to go so stay tuned.
