Memory Bears are created from one of your loved one's shirts. Each bear is as unique as the person they memorialize.
My husband recently passed away. I wanted deals to create something my grandson could hold in his arms that would remind him of his Grandpa Ryan. I took one of his soft, long sleeved, dress shirts and created this memory bear (the gray one in the pictures). It was perfect! I didn't have to give his clothes away to a stranger, every time I see the bear, it makes me smile just a little, and my grandson can still "hug" his Grandpa.
The body of your custom bear would be made from the shirt you choose to send me. I would then use a coordinating print for the contrast parts (or you could send another coordinating shirt). I consider it an honor to make your memory bear and I promise to have the utmost respect for the garments you send. Any remaining scrapes will be disposed of in a respectful manner.
Because of their custom nature, the size of the bears varies but are approximately 14-18 inches tall.
Notes:
--mid weight shirts work best (light material must be backed and make for a stiffer bear)
--cotton dress shirt work best (like a button up shirt)
--not recommended for silky materials
--NOT MEANT FOR USE AS A TOY bears are to be gently loved!
--eyes/buttons/ribbon not intended for small children they are a choking hazard
--A patch can be added with a name and/or date on the back of the bear (custom patches will make your order take longer)
--you pay shipping of shirt to me, return shipping of finished bear is FREE in United States
--Bears take 3-4 weeks from the time I receive your shirt
