About

This is a small keyring charm I made for my little sister, who has just qualified as a dental nurse, but it would be a great gift for anyone who has lost their first tooth, or is getting braces. Or anyone who is just fascinated by teeth.

You Will Need (5 things)

  • Yarn Needle
  • Embroidery Thread black
  • 2mm Crochet Hook
  • DK Wool white, yellow
  • Felt yellow

Steps (6 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Tooth body

    Ch2

    Round 1: 6sc in 2nd ch from hook (6)
    Round 2: 1sc in each (6)
    Round 3: 1sc in each (6)

    Finish, leave a long tail for sewing. Repeat so that you have two numbs (or roots).

  2. 2

    Sew together through one stitch. I also tied the spare tails at the top for security then trimmed them off.

  3. 3

    To continue the tooth, insert your hook into any stitch and CH1.
    Round 1: Sc around the outside edge of the roots (12sc)
    (NB: The count gets dodgy, but try get 12sc to carry on following this pattern)
    Round 2: INC around, 2sc in each stitch (24sc)
    Round 3: Sc around (24sc)
    Round 4: Sc around (24sc)
    Round 5: DEC around (12sc)
    STUFF
    Round 6: DEC around (6sc)

    Finish off and sew closed. Leave a long tail to create a loop if you want to make this into a keyring as I will be doing, or you can make it just a tiny pocket buddy.

  4. 4

    Wings

    Cut the shape to the left out of yellow felt.

    Tip: Fold in half and cut three rounded points on the non-folded egde. Unfold and you’ll have symmetrical wings.

    Sew to the back of your tooth.

  5. 5

    Halo

    Ch15.
    Join ends with SL ST and tie off leaving long tail for sewing.

    Sew to head using the tail - I secured it at just one point at the back of the head. If you’re making a loop, remember to slip the halo over the white tail.

  6. 6

    Finishing

    Embroider your face using the black thread.

    Create your loop if you want one, and enjoy your Tooth fairy!
