I love to make tooth fairy pillows from well-loved baby or toddler clothes! To transform the Disney World hoodie that Tyler chose, I simply cut it into a square, embroidered a tooth on one pocket and a dollar sign on the other, and stitched and stuffed. So easy! Now he’s eagerly waiting for that first loose tooth! ♥ P.S. Click here for another hoodie tooth fairy pillow and here and here for two more designs.

That is such a good idea. I think I will have to do that for my grands.
Yay! I hope we get to see your creations! 🙂
Daughter and family leave for South Korea in a month. After they leave I will be back to full speed. I am trying to spend as much time with them as I can. I won’t see them for two years after that and will need my crafts to keep me sane while they’re gone.
Oh what a fabulous idea! So much more kid friendly than a sharp edged box! I have a pair of froggy leggings my son wore for the first 4 years and I kept them. I am a minimalist so what I do keep is pretty special. I am going to keep them with grandchildren in mind. I love your tooth fairy pillow and I know it will be very helpful to him as Tyler becomes a “bigger boy”.
That sounds like the perfect garment for this project! I know your future pillow will be loved! 🙂
Such a great idea!
Thank you, Sue! 🙂
Loved this! I shared it on my dentist daughter’s Facebook page. Thanks for a sweet idea!
Wow . . . thank you! That’s really sweet of you! 🙂
Wow that is just way too cute for words!! Awesome!! Hugz Lisa and Bear
Thank you, Lisa! 🙂
What a cute idea. I remember making something for my daughter out of yellow gingham but for the life of me I can’t picture it now. Too bad I have no little ones to do that for. They are darling.
Thank you! Does your daughter still have her tooth fairy pillow? 🙂
Goodness no. She’s 41 and moved a dozen times already. No children so everything was passed on years ago. I have only a few photos of those years. Now I take photos of everything I make. Live is funny that way. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, DS has been in bed sick, stomach bug
He is feeling better today,no temp, eating a little,I told him since he does not have to go to work until Wednesday night to just stay in bed to totally get over it.I am feeling better also..Thanks for asking 🙂
I’m glad to hear that things are looking up for you and your family! Hugs, Katherine
I love Disney Parks, come from a family of dentists AND write a sewing blog – so obviously, I am deeming this the Best. Post. Ever.
Well done! I love it! And a great way to “upcycle” clothes. 🙂
Well, I hit a triple play here! 🙂 Thank you, Lindsay . . . and I love your blog! You have a new follower! 🙂
That is a super idea!
Thank you, Anny! He’s already snuggling his pillow even though he doesn’t have a loose tooth yet! 🙂
That’s fantastic! You are the Goddess of crafting, Katherine 🙂
Wow, a goddess!!! 🙂 You’re too kind, Pam! 🙂
