I have just been working on these sweet little bears this week!
My bears are about 5" tall, 2 1/2" wide at the waist. The bear die is from Ellen Hutson, the tooth die and sentiments are from Taylored Expressions. I added a little tag and a thin insert strip that says 'put tooth here' so the receiver would know to slip the tooth inside the top of the felt tooth! I glued the sides and bottom of the tooth to the bear tummy.
I hand stitched around the edges and added felt dot eyes. You can embroider the nose/mouth but I have a die from MFT called Puppy Love that has a die to cut the nose mouth and it was perfect size for the bear! You can see the felt puppy in my gallery here
I think I might make some more Tooth Bearys out of pink, blue, and white felt!
We are having snow flurries today! Yikes!

Truly adorable "Tooth Fairy" pillows. You put a LOT of work into these....and they are sure to be kept used again and again, and become keepsakes, Julia.

Beary cute! Love these tooth holding bears. So glad you shared them. They would look cute in any color. Wish we had these when our kids were small. Sometimes it was difficult to find the lost tooth under the pillow with a sleeping child on it. Great job. Super sweet. TFS
