HANDMADE COLLECTOR  AND MEMORY  BEARS

Welcome to Shoebox Bears.  I am Amanda and I am 54 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 collector's 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. 

 

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
