Keepsake Bears are a great way of holding onto a very special shirt that reminds you strongly of a loved one. Grandpa's favorite shirt? That onesie that your daughter looked so cute in as a baby? Your Mom's blouse that she wore to every single family reunion? You can hold onto it forever by turning it into a sweet keepsake bear.

Keepsake Bears can be made out of anything fabric! Any type of clothing (shirts, jeans, onesies, even wedding dresses!), blankets, jackets, or any other type of fabric is perfectly capable of being transformed into a bear! The 3 bears pictured were made from a shirt and a pair of jeans (the design on the big bear is actually the Jean pockets).

I offer 3 different sizes of bears: a 15" for $30, an 18" for $35, and a 22" for $40. There are also numerous unique personalization options you can add as well. These options include:

Any text, which you can use to commemorate dates, names, or even a favorite quote, costs just $5 per bear, and can often be included for free on large orders! You can even pick the color you'd like used.

Photographs printed on fabric can be included for $10, these items are ordered printed on fabric from the factory for quality assurance reasons and the price includes up to 4 pictures!

Handwriting samples are also able to be put on bears using Heat Transfer Vinyl for only $5! You can take your favorite birthday card or note in your loved ones' handwriting and I can transfer it onto your bear!

You can also choose your eye color for the bears, if you want details from the clothing added in (such a collar, buttons, trim, pockets, etc), and if you want angel wings added. All of these options are included for free!

My favorite personalization option is to actually include a voice recorded message inside the bear that activates when hugged! If you have a voice recording of your loved one, or even a video with audio, I can record that audio and include it in your bear for $15. What better way to remember a lost loved one than to hear their voice with every hug?!

I take great pride in creating a one-of-a-kind keepsake that completely embodies the memory you want to keep of your loved one. It is for this reason that I believe the personalization options are so important, and why I offer so many more options than can be found by most competitors. And, as always, if you have any idea or special request for your item I will do my best to accommodate it!

Please keep in mind that these are not like factory made stuffed animals. They are made from used fabric, which often times is thinner than new fabric, the holes used to stuff them are hand sewn closed, and the arms and legs are hand sewn on. I use thick high quality thread and attach them as securely as possible, but on occasion a seam will come open or an extremity might fall off. I purposely attach them in a way that makes it more likely for the thread to give if they're pulled on than for the fabric to tear, so that they're fixable if that ever happens. And I will always repair them free of charge, no matter the cause!
