Q: Many people choose to leave the tooth under a pillow. You can even use a special tooth-shaped pillow, if you can find one, or a pillow with a pocket sewn in it to hold the tooth. You can also ask the child if he or she would rather leave a tooth somewhere else. Another common place to leave the tooth is in a glass of water. After the tooth is removed during the night, you can tell the child that the tooth fairy jumped in and swam down to get it. Some children might be curious, excited, or even nervous about the idea of the tooth fairy. For instance, your child might dream about the tooth fairy, or wonder what it looks like, or be scared of the idea of something visiting his/her room and taking teeth. Let your child talk about his/her feelings, and reassure him or her that the tooth fairy is nice, won't be scary, and loves leaving gifts for children. Other children may have told your child scary things about the tooth fairy. If your child seems afraid of the idea, ask what other people have told him/her about the tooth fairy. Some children feel better if allowed to leave a note for the tooth fairy instead of the actual tooth. If your child really doesn't like the idea of the tooth fairy, don't force the "visit." When the child loses his or her tooth, he or she can leave a note for the tooth fairy under a pillow, along with the tooth. This note can tell the tooth fairy what the child has done to take good care of his or her teeth, and any other special messages the child would like to leave. Have the child write a note that explained what happened. Then, tell the child that you will deliver the note to the tooth fairy, or that he or she can leave the note under a pillow and the tooth fairy will pick it up. Let the child try to decide what to say to the tooth fairy. If he or she can't decide, help by suggesting something like: "Dear Tooth Fairy. My (first, second, etc.) tooth fell out but I can't find it now. You can see that there's a hole in my mouth where it used to be. I hope you come to see me. Love, (child's name)." Most tooth fairy visits leave behind $1 to $5, with an average of $3. Really, however, it's the thought that countseven a nice note left under a pillow can mean a lot to a child. The tooth fairy doesn't have to leave moneyit could be a note, a book, candy, a small toy, etc. instead. If you write a note, you can use a fancy pen or special handwriting, or dust the note with glitteranything to make it look like it came from the tooth fairy. The tooth fairy can also leave behind a toothbrush, floss, or other objects to encourage good dental hygiene. Some people like to leave a special certificate from the tooth fairy congratulating the child on losing the tooth. You can find templates for these certificates online. If the child loses a tooth and you don't have any cash (or another gift) to leave under the pillow, write a note from the tooth fairy that lets the child know that the tooth fairy will visit soon. For instance, the note could say: "Dear So-and-So: Wow! You're growing up so fast! I was so surprised that you lost your (first/second/etc.) tooth already that I didn't have time to pick up your gift, but I promise to visit again soon! Love, the Tooth Fairy"

Q: Old pillows are great free packaging! Use whole pillows for filling in the spaces while moving furniture to prevent damage. Alternatively, you can use just the stuffing to pack fragile objects tightly in moving boxes or storage containers. Packaging that is made from old pillows can be reused indefinitely. Solid memory foam and latex pillows make especially good packaging, as they can be cut to size. Sometimes a bit of stuffing is all it takes to revive tired cushions and children's soft toys. Simply remove the stuffing from the pillows and place it inside the throw cushion or toy casing. Pack the stuffing tightly and zip or button the casing back up when you're done. If you're looking for a decor upgrade, you can also make your own throw cushions using the old pillow stuffing. Kneeling cushions make gardening much more enjoyable for your knees! Use a sturdy, vinyl pillowcase as a cover or get a specialty outdoor cover to make the kneeling cushion extra durable. Floor cushions are great for watching movies or playing board games, and they are especially popular in family or toy rooms. Put the pillows inside pre-made cushion covers that are large enough for 2 or more pillows or make your own covers if you're feeling creative. If your pet has an existing bed that is a bit old and tired, simply remove the cover, give it a wash, and stuff it until it's firm with stuffing from the old pillows. For a whole new bed, use 2-4 old pillows with pillowcases and sew them together. Cover the pillows with a warm, fleece blanket or an old comforter that can be easily washed. Your pet will probably enjoy sleeping on your old pillows since they have a familiar smell. Draft stoppers are great for preserving energy and keeping your home at a comfortable temperature. Cut 2 rectangular pieces of durable fabric approximately 6in (15cm) thick and as long as the base of your drafty door or window. Sew the pieces of fabric together leaving a short edge open and fill the casing with alternated sections of popcorn kernels and old pillow stuffing. Sew the open end closed and place the draft stopper in front of the door or window. The popcorn kernels weigh the draft stopper down so it stays in place.
