The excitement and anticipation of losing a tooth is such a fun part of childhood, but it can also be a bit scary. We love any reason to add a little magic (and glitter!) to everyday things, so follow below for a step-by-step instructions for making a Tooth Fairy Wand.
How to Make a Tooth Fairy Wand (with hidden tooth pocket)
The supplies are pretty versatile so use what you have on hand. (or you have my permission to make a craft store run.)
Supplies You Will Need
- Magic Wand: We used a paint stick, which was the perfect size to add a little pocket
- White Felt: also use heavy paper or foam
- Googly Eyes: or paint/draw on
- Ribbons: we used cloth, but old gift ribbon bows would be fun
- Paint: markers, and crayons work, too
- Glue: hot glue is always the fastest choice and worked best for this no-sew project
- Glitter: optional
- Tooth Pattern: see Step 2
- Sharpie/Pencil
Tooth Fairy Wand Instructions
Step 1
Paint and decorate your fairy wands. The paint will need to be dry to assemble wands. If you’re adding glitter you can add it now.
Step 2
Use your tooth pattern to trace and cut out 2, a front and back piece, using your white felt.
Step 3
Attach eyes and paint/draw a smile on one of the tooth pieces.
Step 4
Cut a small rectangular piece of felt and glue on the top of the paint stick to create a pocket. Make sure to leave the top open to place the tooth.
Step 5
Glue the ribbons on the other side of the paint stick.
Step 6
Glue the back tooth piece to the paint stick, then glue the top tooth piece onto the bottom tooth piece around the edges, keeping the top open to create a pocket for the tooth fairy to leave money.
Step 7
Make sure glue has cooled off and everything is holding in place. Use these wands to help make your next dentist visit a magical experience, or use the hidden pocket to keep your tooth safe until the tooth fairy visits.
