Hi and welcome to braveheart Bears and keepsakes. The page is still under construction so bear 🐻 with us 😊
If you are looking to get a memory bear or cushion made keep an eye on the page. Currently making the celtic and rangers bears which once completed we will be doing a bonus ball to raise money for charity. Each bear is taking me about 3/5 days or between 12/16 hours to make, depending on the material and how many items of clothing are being used for the bear, it is a very personal service, and each bear will be unique. Taking apart the clothing items takes time, I have to pick every single stitch out of each item to maximise material. Any material left over can be given back or put inside the bear along with stuffing before it's hand sewn closed.
We'll need to know the clothing items you’d like made into a bear/cushion, ie is it a jumper, T shirt, house coat, scarf etc We may need to ask for pictures and details from the label. I cannot go ahead with orders or price a bear without this information that’s why it’s important to send them over with your enquiry.
❤️As a general rule it usually takes the same amount of fabric as ONE LONG SLEEVE ADULT SIZE GARMENT to make one bear so if your bear is to be made from baby/child size clothing I'll let you know how many I will need depending on the size or age of the items. We can use baby blankets too, or if you have something little and still want a bear we can order a material and just incorporate your smaller item into the bear or cushion.
❤️Once you’ve been given a quote and read the requirements of sending clothing let us know you’re happy to proceed and we’ll send you the address for posting clothing, you Can drop of at Dragon Aquatics or I can collect local for a small fee.
Let us know if you’d like to incorporate cremation ash in your bear, this can be discussed when order books are open.
We will contact you to confirm safe arrival of your clothing items and request deposit. Deposit is £25 per bear and Payment is by bank transfer, PayPal or cash if dropping off.
Each memory bear created are not intended as toys. Because each keepsake is bespoke and created individually they cannot be CE tested and do not comply with any toy safety guidelines and are not considered safe for use as a toy by law.
Memory keepsakes are not suitable or intended for play by children under 14 years of age.
We have carefully constructed each memory bear by hand and sewing machine. Despite using safety eyes and noses they can become a swallow hazard if they come off.
Bear In Mind Braveheart bears and keepsakes accepts no liability for the misuse of decorative keepsakes
There is no standard price list.
I offer a bespoke sewing service, each bear is hand made and takes 12-16 hours to complete sometimes longer again depending on clothing items involved.
Just as every piece of clothing is individual so is every bear. Pricing is only available when my order book is open but as a reference point they start at £65🧸
Hope that helps to explain things 😊
We are based in Paisley (Scotland)
