HANDMADE CUSTOM AND MEMORY BEARS

Shop

Welcome to Shoebox Bears. I am Amanda and I am 53 years old, I live in Cumbria and I'm a keen mountain biker. I started making bears during lockdown in 2020 to keep busy. Each bear is unique and handmade with love.

I am now starting to make custom bears, whether its a fisherman bear for your fisherman friend, a birthday bear or a wedding bear for an upcoming wedding, I can match the colours to their wedding theme or just message me at amandamiles@shoeboxbears.com if you would like a specific bear gift.

My memory bears are very popular , whether this is made from a school uniform, old baby grows and your child is now older, a deceased loved ones clothing or you just want a bear making out of clothes that have a memory for you. I am now adding memory cats and dogs to my webite so if your beloved best friend has passed away then I can make a dog or cat from their blankets or clothes, just send me a message to amandamiles@shoeboxbears.com to discuss.

I also make shelf animals, these could be a present/gift for a loved one to sit on a shelf as a keepsake.

Each bear can be made either 26cm or 42 cms high
