Open wide! Welcome to the most magical dental check-up you will ever experience. The “Dentist” Fairy Clinic is a pristine, medical-themed caravan run by the Tooth Fairy herself. The exterior features a clean design in clinical White and soothing Mint Green, topped with a cute molar tooth sign. The back doors swing open to reveal a fully equipped dental surgery. The interior boasts a reclining blue patient chair, a professional overhead light, and a tray filled with tiny dental instruments. Outside, the Tooth Fairy Mouse waves her star wand, ready to collect a tooth from a waiting patient.
This is a detailed playset project. To create the clean, sharp lines of the clinic and ensure the doors swing properly, we use the “3-Layer Sandwich Method” (Yarn – Plastic Canvas – Yarn). We will also use two different hook sizes: a standard hook for the sturdy caravan shell and a micro-hook for the tiny medical tools.
Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.
