Why Make the Tooth Fairy Twinkle Pouch Free Crochet Pattern?

Is the tooth fairy likely to be visiting your home or the home of a young person you like to craft for?

Sometimes it can be quite a task for the poor fairy to find the fallen tooth under a heap of stuffed toys, pillows and children’s heads (or feet, quite often in our house!), so let’s make it easy for her with the Tooth Fairy Twinkle Pouch Free Crochet Pattern and work up a little crocheted holder to give the child for the tooth and a matching one to give the fairy for the coin. It’ll be so quick and easy for the fairy to find the tooth pouch and swap it for her pouch with the coin without any risk of waking the child and we know how important it is that nobody sees the tooth fairy at work!

Finishing

Attach stars in pairs by whip stitching along the edges to form a pocket leaving the sides between two adjacent points unseamed so a coin or tooth can be inserted into the middle.

Decorate your stars using beads , scrap yarn tassels and sparkly thread.
