Tooth Fairy Pouch Kit Instructions

1) Congrats on finishing your tooth cross stitch! It’s time to sew this onto the velvet pouch.

If you have an iron, take a piece of scrap cotton and put it on top of the finished cross stitch. On medium heat, give the tooth a bit of an iron. (If you don’t have an iron, no worries, its not necessary).

2) Next, fold all four sides of the aida so the finished size of the tooth is now 1 3/4" x 2” (4.5 cm x 5 cm)

3) Make sure your velvet pouch has a running stitched rectangle on one side of it. This is where you will be attaching the cross stitched tooth.

4) Double check that the finished size of your cross stitched tooth will fit in the rectangle on the velvet pouch.

5) It FITS! Let's go!

6) Included in your kit, you’ll find a needle with white thread ready for you to sew the cross stitch onto the pouch. Be careful, this needle is sharp (it’s not a tapestry needle).

7) Make sure the end of the white thread has a knot.

8) Take the needle and start in between one of the folds on the aida so the knot will be hidden.

9) Thread the needle through the corresponding running stitch on the velvet pouch and back up through the aida.

10) Continue sewing back down into the next running stitch on the velvet pouch and back into the aida, until you have secured the entire perimeter.

11) TA DA! Your tooth fairy pouch is complete!

Pull the draw strings once a tooth is in there or once the Tooth Fairy has retrieved the tooth and left some money (hopefully she knows to pull the strings shut) :)
