A DIY Tooth Fairy Box

This is a post sponsored by Silhouette America.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.  This post contains affiliate links.

I have a fun {and glittery} DIY tooth fairy box to show you today.  It’s a simple DIY made with chipboard and a pile of glitter and it’s a really cute way to leave a tooth out for the tooth fairy!  You can customize it with any color of glitter to match room decor or coordinate with a child’s favorite color.

If you haven’t used chipboard or kraft board before, it’s a must-have in the craft arsenal.  It offers a stability that cardstock doesn’t have and is perfect for making boxes.

This project was made on a Silhouette but can also be made on a Cricut machine.  The scoring wheel on the Cricut is perfect for making boxes and if you haven’t used the Cricut scoring wheel before, be sure to check out this post that tells you everything you need to know about the scoring wheel.

How to Make a Tooth Fairy Box

Ready to tackle this cute little tooth fairy box?

I downloaded a template from the Silhouette store and cut it from the chipboard.  I love the scalloped edges on this lid.  If you’re using a Cricut to make this project, find a box image in Cricut Design Space and size it to make it small and cute.

I used hot glue to glue the tabs on the box together …

… and then covered the lid in mod podge and shook fine glitter {Martha Stewart fine glitter is my favorite} all over it.  

Once the glitter layer was dry, I covered it again in matte mod podge so the glitter won’t fall off every time the box is touched.  I added a little white cardstock paper tooth {also cut with the cutting machine} to the top and now this little box is all ready for the next lost tooth.

Which has already happened.  Sometimes I think my kids pull out their teeth and use them as a source of income {wink}.

Simple, huh?  What tooth fairy wouldn’t love to find a tooth in a glittery little box on the nightstand?  There’s even enough room in the box for a little note from the child or from the tooth fairy.

And I have it on good authority that the tooth fairy loves the convenience of a box … digging under the pillow of a sleeping child gets tiresome after a while {wink}.
