Make a monster pillow: Keep teeth safe for the fairy

Ellen of The Long Thread has crafted a clever little tooth pillow guaranteed to provide a secure place to stash those teeny pearly whites waiting to be switched out for payment (an easily found tooth makes a quick job for the tooth fairy).

According to Ellen:

...I have two girls, but we still love monsters. This little monster pillow will gobble up your child’s baby teeth and spit out money — what could be better?

Um, nothing! She's provided a tutorial complete with templates and easy to follow directions. Plus it's a pillow which means it's a super-simple sewing project for even the most novice sewer. Losing baby teeth is cool and so is the tooth fairy but a monster tooth pillow is the coolest!
