My daughter is growing up. Yep. It happens. I hate it .... I REALLY hate it, but I hate the alternative even worse. Anyway, I thought I'd have a little time before we got to the 'loose tooth' stage, but, alas, no such luck. She turned 5 in September - with a loose tooth. Now, it is VERY loose, and very well may come out while we're on vacation. So, in an effort to not lose the loose tooth, I made a tin for her to put it in so the tooth fairy can find it. We've never used a tin with the boys, but we might as well make it easy on the "tooth fairy," right??? :)
The tin was in a 'goody' bag bought for $2 at Michael's earlier this year. Originally, it was a 'Crayola' tin.
The teeth were cut with the Cricut and SCAL. They were sprayed with Shimmer Spritz and covered in Glassy Glaze. The shimmer shows through the clear glaze pretty well. My glitter pen was used on the fairy's wings, and in the 'sparkles' around.
Ribbon was wrapped around both the lid and the side of the tin. Small pearls are dotted around the entire tin.
Stamps - a Fairy set from ... somewhere?!
Ink - Memento, Copics
Paper - pink, black
Accessories - SCAL, Cricut, pearls, ribbons, butterfly crystal, tacky tape
Hopefully, this Tooth Tin will get some use while we're gone. She really wants to lose the tooth in Disney!
Have a great Wednesday, and a great, big, beautiful day!!

This gift was made for one of our Mousekeeper gifts (a gift for our daily housekeeper at the resort).
The candle is wrapped with a wonderful red and green dotted ribbon bought from Hobby Lobby.
Etched on this gift are butterflies. I used vinyl as a stencil after cutting with the Cricut.

When I saw these wonderful - and flat!!! - square, glass candle holders, I couldn't resist them! They are a dream to etch, and I think they will work great for the purpose.
The glass candle holder and candle were both purchased at the Dollar Store. ONE dollar for each of those! Awesome!!!!
The middle of the stocking was cut from a Mat Stack - green gingham, and the toe/heel patches were cut from red swirls in the same stack. The ribbon was colored using Copics (duh!), and the white 'fluff' was colored simply with a Gelly Rollz glitter pen.
