Royal Connections


Royal connections

As Prince George begins his school career, Blazer Bear are ready and waiting to make a regal keepsake! We are eager to face the challenge as we have already made a number of bears for the pupils of St Thomas’s Battersea, where the young prince will attend.

Our St Thomas’s keepsakes

Our St Thomas’s keepsakes have used a variety of  different aspects of the uniform. We have created keepsakes from their sweatshirts emblazoned with Thomas’s, sports tops, socks have become scarves and usually always feature the lovely gingham shirt…we always love a bit on gingham!

New School


New School

It is the end of term, or nearly, and summer is here! But for some this also means moving to pastures new. Whether leaving to start secondary school, off to university or moving to a new area it can be a time of full of emotion. At first there is excitement as it is the holidays! Weeks ahead of no homework, being told to do your top button up or perhaps school dinners. For mums and dads no more homework nagging, the school run or frantically trying to organise sports kit on a Monday with no items lost…a challenge!

Baby Keepsakes


Baby Keepsakes

We have been so excited this year to introduce our new baby keepsakes! Along with our bears, we now have our floppy eared bunny and our gorgeous cheeky elephant. Wonderful keepsakes created from treasured baby and childrens clothing and personalised embroidery.

We all have those special babygros and outfits from our children’s early years. They are carefully packed away in the attic gathering dust. A keepsake is the perfect way to bring our treasured items back to life.

Mothercare and Hubbub

We were recently invited onto BBC Kent to discuss how to transform our treasured memories and clothing into wonderful bespoke keepsakes for the future. We had a great day and … Read more of this post


Keepsake Blazer Bears Bumper Year!


The Blazer Bear workshop finished on a high for 2016 with a record number of keepsake bears being made. Our bespoke large bears continued to hold their appeal and our group order smaller bears proved very popular, meaning we were very busy making keepsake bears throughout the year!

We have made many bears this year not only from all the lovely school uniforms, but have made a number of memory bears from loved ones special clothing. Ones that have proved very popular are those made from tie collections. All our bears are special to make but some like these ones are extra special.

An increasing amount of schools have ordered bears for their leavers. We have often personalized each bear with each child’s name tape and   ‘leavers 2016’ has also been included to created a special keepsake for their time at school.

High on the list of bears we made … Read more of this post
