I have a silhouette cameo and I drew the tooth myself. While it’s drying you can go ahead and lay your design out using your cutting machine’s software. Don’t forget to open it up and get inside the lid!Ĥ. When it’s dried according to the primer’s directions, give it several thin and even coats of gold spray paint. Make sure your primer says it’s appropriate for plastic.

I tried doing it without primer and the paint peeled right off. Take your floss container outside and give the entire thing a good coat of spray primer. If it isn’t empty, set the floss aside to keep using!ģ. Then use a craft knife or something similar to pop out the internal dental floss mechanism. First, peel off any stickers or decals on your dental floss container.Ģ.Cutting machine (or you can recreate the design with a paint pen!)ĭIY Tooth Fairy Lost Tooth Box Instructions.Scroll all the way down if you’d like to download and print your free copy (you can personalize it for your child)! Here’s how I did it: DIY Tooth Fairy Lost Tooth Box Supply List I also whipped up an really cute letter from the tooth fairy to share with you as well.

Which is kind of a lot of requirements for a craft project.Īnd then I had a eureka moment when I thought to use a dental floss container! How perfect is that?! And conveniently, my dad had the perfect classic dental floss container in his suitcase for me to use (he kept the flossy insides to keep using)! But it had to be easy to make, small and secure.

So I wanted to some up with something else. I feel like I’ve seen about 9,000 tooth fairy pillows. I was feeling uninspired by the task at first. Talk about extreme excitement! My parents happened to be visiting that week, although they left to go home and missed the actual tooth falling out by about two hours, but it was lucky for me because I was brainstorming all day about what to make for O to keep his lost tooth in.Īnd they kept saying, “what’s your big rush?” But I just had a feeling it was going to fall out the next day and it did! I finished this project just in time! Luckily it was a quick and easy DIY and the tooth fairy letter that you can personalize was the icing on the cake for this project! When he was in first grade, O lost his first tooth! It went from very slightly wiggly to completely out in less than three days. You guys! This printable tooth fairy letter might be my favoritest thing ever (that’s a word, right?!)
