tooth fairy tin



my youngest son lost his first baby tooth today, and he wanted a box to put it in, just like his brother's. I made this from a small mint tin. Painted it with gesso and then silver embossed around the edge, I used Althaya from Inka and did her wings with vellum. I used "believe" from the large collage words. I decorated it with some star waste and a punched star.

I just hope the tooth fairy appreciates my efforts

  1. That's so beautiful Joanne. It sure is all happening at your place this weekend!
    I hope the tooth fairy recognises all the effort in presenting the 1st tooth and rewards accordingly lol :0)
