Bears Made From Fur Coat - Fairy Godmother Creations

Memory Bears from Two fur Coats

Memory Bears from Fur Coat

We make bears from fur coats. We have been making teddy bears from fur coats for over 20 years! Please visit our FAQ (found here) for more information about types of fur. Whether we are working with real fur or faux fur, each of our bears is crafted to last, with jointed arms and legs and high attention to detail. They come with acrylic safety-lock eyes and plastic noses.

Note: I am currently booked through Christmas this year but am taking orders to be completed after the new year.

Pricing of Bears From Fur Coat

Each bear has jointed arms and legs, acrylic safety-lock eyes, plastic nose and comes with a satin ribbon around its neck. We try to use the lining of the coat for any scarf and accents whenever possible.

$165 (plus shipping) for a 10″-14″ fur coat memory bear
$185 (plus shipping) for a 16″ fur coat memory bear
$205 (plus shipping) for an 18″ fur coat memory bear
$235 (plus shipping) for an 20″ fur coat memory bear

NOTE: For Mouton, Fox, Raccoon, Coyote and Seal. We can’t make a teddy bear smaller than 16″. Because of the thickness of the hide or density of the long fur, these furs simply don’t work for smaller memory bears. We are not currently offering a non-jointed option in fur bears.

Add-Ons:

$20 Custom Scarf
$22 to embroider two (2) initials on one foot per bear (Because the foot pad is not that large, we are limited to two (2) initials per foot.)
$22 to embroider initials or name on scarf (I do not have a large, industrial embroidery machine so am limited to a 4″ space but I can put a name on each scarf)
$27 for a heart applique with embroidered initials or name (usually placed on the tummy)
$25 to make a vest
$10 for glasses

Shipping Information

Shipping is $16 for the first memory bear and $6 per each additional bear. We are located in Dayton, Ohio (45402).

For some reason, AOL doesn’t always allow my emails through. If you have emailed me and don’t receive a response within 24 hours, it means I either didn’t get your email, or my response did not make it to you.

Additional Information

How much fur does it take to make a bear? I can usually get the following:

Standard small shoulder stole = Two 12″-14″ bears
Larger stole or small jacket = Two 14″ bears one 16″” bear
Hip-length jacket/coat = Three to four 12″-14″ bears or two 16″″ bears or one 18″ bear
Full length coat = Six 12″-14″ bears or three 16″- 18″ bears

Each bear has approximately 24 pattern pieces. If someone wants more bears from a garment, I can sometimes adapt my patterns to make smaller bears. I don’t like to work with bears less than 9″ though.

Sizes

My bear sizes are based on the bear standing from head to toe. However, most of the time the bears are sitting and some people have difficulty picturing the size of an 18″ or 16″ or 14″ bear so this photo should help with that. From the left is the 18″, in the middle is a 16″ and the right side is a 14″ bear. I’ve included a standard water bottle. A 12″ bear would be about as high as the water bottle.
