School Leaver Signature Bear

If ordering a jumper or hoody for th bear please send 1 jumper or hoody. Note a jumper can be used to create a hoody.

As well as the fabrics that you send, soft medium weight non-woven fusible interfacing is used to strengthen fabrics prior to cutting, felt may be used for the nose and the keepsakes are stuffed using Hollowfibre polyester filling which is non allergenic, washable and meets fire safety standards BS5852.  A clothing tag with my business logo will also be added unless specified. Where appropriate a ribbon may be added around the neck of the finished keepsake. I use a range of colourful glitter eyes in all my keepsakes unless specified. Plain black can be added on request.

1. Browse our online shop and choose the type of memory bear keepsake you want us to create for you. Don't forget these are just samples. Your memory bear will be unique as it will be made from the clothing you send us.

2. Next choose the size of your memory bear (only available on certain designs), any embroidery if required and the turnaround time. Simply then add to cart and progress to checkout.

3. At checkout you will be asked to fill in your details and pay securely.

4. Package up your clothing and send to the address provided (we recommend sending by recorded delivery to ensure the safe arrival of your clothing). Please include your name and order number so that we know who the clothing is from. Failure to do this may lead to a delay in starting your order. You will receive an confirmation email on receipt of the clothing. Please note that delivery estimates are provided from the date we receive your clothing not the date ordered.

5. We will create a custom design mock up for your approval and will not make the bear/keepsake until you are 100% satisfied with the design. You may also choose to allow us to use our knowledge and experience to select how to use the clothing to best effect within the design. This will be the last point at which any changes can be made to the design.

DELIVERY ESTIMATE

Keepsakes are handmade to order and take between 4-6 weeks to complete, from the date the clothing is received. They can sometimes be completed quicker depending on demand and the items being used. If you have a specific date that you need the items by please do let us know.

 

❤ FASTER TURNAROUND SERVICE:

If you require a quicker turnaround than normal we do offer a fast turn around service for an additional charge. This will guarantee that the item will be posted to you within 6 days of receipt of the clothing. This also includes an upgrade to Royal Mail guaranteed next day delivery by 1pm. 

Spot clean only is recommended. Depending on the clothing used, this can be machine washed on a delicate cycle but as there is hand stitching in the item, this may compromise the seams and is undertaken at your own risk.

SAFETY:

Please note that these are KEEPSAKES and NOT TOYS. Due to the fabrics used they cannot be CE tested, they do contain small parts and are hand finished. They are therefore not suitable for babies and small children and should be used for display purpose only. Safety eyes are used throughout our range and these are not advised for children under 3 years of age. 

We offer an embroidery service to personalise your keepsake. There are three options available - one foot to be embroidered with up to 3 words (£4), both feet with up to 3 words on each (£6) (dependant on choice of bear), a small heart patch with a name and or date (£4) or a patch on the body with a chosen message, name or personalised message (£8).

Hand embroidery and machine embroidery are available. 

Please state in the personalisation box what you would embroidered, the placement of the embroidery and any colour preferences for the thread colour. 

Your finished keepsake will be packaged within a cotton drawstring bag and then packaged in a mailing bag. 1st Class Royal Mail delivery is included for a small charge and will require a signature to ensure the safety of your finished keepsake. Other delivery options are available at an additional charge.
