Send us your clothing
- Bears are best made from shirts, t-shirts or jumpers
- Each bear uses 6 x A4 sized pieces of fabric
- They can be made from 1 items of clothing - but 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
Product details
- The bears are approx. 30 cm tall
- Stuffing is a hollowfibre filling
- Please not this product is not suitable for children under 14 years of age and is meant as a keepsake not a toy. This is because the nature of using your recycled clothes, means the keepsakes can not be CE tested
