Loosing a tooth is really exciting when you're a little kid. Usually it involves much wiggling and anticipation, and once it finally comes out there is even more excitement! The Tooth Fairy is coming! When I was a kid I just stuck my forsaken tooth into an envelope, put it under my pillow, and hoped for the best. We thought we'd try to make the whole ritual a little more fun by making a colorful bag complete with a special tooth-shaped pocket for the baby tooth. The Tooth Fairy can take away the tooth and leave the loot in the bag.

This is a really quick project. So quick that you might want to whip up a few in different colors for the different kids (and teeth!) in your life. It is made with our bright and beautiful wool felt, some embroidery floss (pun intended) and scrap yarn.

I used the Rainbow Wool Felt Bundle and was inspired to make a neat rainbow of eight cute little bags. The colors in this bundle are so bright and fun and they work for boys or girls.

There are no special stitches or techniques, just cutting and running stitch. If you'd like to make one of your own please check out my Tooth Fairy Bag Project Journal. --Molly
