How to Make a Tooth Fairy Pillow – Free Crochet Pattern
One of my very first crochet designs was this Tooth Fairy Pillow! I began designing crochet patterns in November of 2012, at first I started out as a handmaker and I only designed patterns here and there to sell in my shop. It didn’t take me long to realize that I was very much in love with the designing aspect.

Tooth fairy pillows with a tooth pocket. Perfect for tooth exchanges. No need to dig around that huge pillow for a tiny tooth!
So, recently I started another craft blog, She’s So Creative (it’s a WIP 😉 ), and I decided to recreate these Tooth Fairy Pillows as my first sewing pattern!
But, how could I have that pattern be free and not this one? Well, that’s why it’s now up on my blog! Woohoo!

I think that these are so sweet. I cannot wait to make some of these. Thank you for sharing this pattern.
Is there any chance that you could post a size and stencil (?) for the tooth? I can crochet but not sure I can get the tooth right.
Hi Sue!
I added a link for a tooth template printable to the finishing instructions!

Can you enlarge it on your screen and trace it with a pencil and paper? or print it out and cut it from there??
Hi Cindy!
You absolutely can do that! The percentage you would need to enlarge it would vary depending on what device you’re using, so it may take some playing around. I would suggest making the pillow first, so you can match it up to size!

I am trying to get the template for the tooth. Where it says this template and i click on it and it says item not found
Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I’m not sure how the file got removed, but I have updated it!
