So my daughter's best friend posted a picture on Facebook of her daughter holding her first lost tooth - in a plastic baggie! I decided that she needed a tooth fairy pillow. I don't do normal ... even though I try ...
and not only does she have fangs but she is a ballerina to boot! Note the pointe shoes and the tutu!
I vant to drink your blood sugar!!!
Now I do have to say that the pink pocket that is showing doesn't really show through the plushie in person - the flash did that number on her. The lost tooth goes in the mouth of the plushie, to be replaced, hopefully, with coins from the tooth fairy.
A friend of mine gave me a bag of jewelry and in that bag was a necklace that had the word 'Sweet" in rhinestones .. so I cut it up and sewed the word to the tutu. The tutu was kind of time consuming - it consists of a piece of elastic with tons of little 5"x2" pieces of tulle tied on (like fringe on a shawl). You just keep pushing them to the center until you can't see elastic when stretched out.
Fun, fun, fun .. but odd, odd, odd, lol.
This little tooth fairy made me laugh. I know the little girl is overjoyed to have such a delightful replacement for the plastic bag.

No one does Plushies like you, Jude! And I guess I'M odd too 'cause I don't think your creation is 'odd' at all - just delightful! I'm sure the recipient would agree!
