Memory bear keepsake - teddy from clothing / shirt

£50.00

These handmade memory bear keepsakes are made from your loved ones clothing. They are a lovely way to deal with grief and treasure the memories of loved ones, and turn their clothes into something you can treasure forever. A lovely memorial teddy gift for grandchildren to remember their grandparent.

Your clothing

Teddy bears are best made from shirts, t-shirts or jumpers. They can be made from 1 items of clothing - the more items (maximum 5 items per bear), the more varied your bear will be. For example, if you want a group of 5 bears, you can send 5 items and I'll use a piece of each clothing for every bear.

To give a better idea of the amount of clothing I need - each teddy bear uses 6 x A4 sized pieces of fabric.

    Beautiful memory bears

    I ordered 3 memory bears for family Christmas presents, my sister in law ordered 2 bears and a memory cushion. They are absolutely beautiful,the attention to detail is fantastic, the bears look amazing.There were lots of tears on Christmas day, but they were happy memory tears of a mum and grandmother. My son said 'I remember nan in the cardigan now on my special bear. All the family members love their bears and my brother loves his cushion. Thank you Sarah so much for all the love and hard work you put in to each bear . I would highly recommend 2 Green monkeys for any memory keepsakes.
