Moments are fleeting.

One moment, you are snuggling a tiny, sleeping baby in the crook of your arm, watching their little chest rise and fall in perfect peace. The next moment, you are holding back proud tears at the school bus stop, watching them wave to you with excitement in their eyes.

Although you can’t stop the passage of time, you can squeeze your memories tight in the form of a soft and snuggly bear, quilt, or pillow made from your baby or loved one’s clothing.

Every keepsake is handmade with care – each one is unique and made to order. Just like people, there are no two alike!

I don’t know if thank you is enough! During the most difficult time at a time when we couldn’t travel to even see my mother in law you created the best memory my kids could have. The last time they were able to see their grandmother in person was back in 2019 and as sad as it was for them to have to say good bye to her over video call I’m so thankful to you for creating something they have as a way to remember her. My kids love them, they sleep with them almost every night. The quality of the items is incredible. Your work is truly amazing and your talent blows me away. Thank you again for creating exactly what I asked for and giving my kids a little piece of their grandmother.

Holding on to every little onesie, or favourite shirt, or well-loved blanket, packed away in a box is not practical.

But throwing them out or giving them away feels painful to consider. Re-purposing these sentimental pieces into a stuffy, quilt, or pillow gives you something tangible to have in your arms. Something that will remind you every day of the wonderful memories you have of your child or loved one. Something you can touch and squeeze and hold and enjoy for many years to come.

I am so grateful to Clara (Bella’s Bears) for this gorgeous memory quilt. This truly is so meaningful and I could not be more pleased with how it turned out. The quality is superb and very nicely done. I can see many cuddly nights ahead. This is going to be a great family keepsake for us and my little daughter. With my precious baby clothes, I took a chance to have something beautifully made instead of stored away inside a box in the attic. Each and every dress was a gift to her from her beloved family and our friends to remember and let Srinaya know how much she is loved. Thank you so much🙏🙏 In love love love with the quilt.

Bella's bears & co made three stunning quilts for my children out of there baby clothes. I loved the creativity and the ways she found to use so many different elements of the pieces. They are something we will treasure forever

Clara truly has a gift, her gift should be shared with everyone who wants to memorialize a loved one who has passed on. She was able to give my children and my niece and nephew a small part of their grandfather with her beautifully crafted Bobo bear. The craftsmanship and quality of her work is truly beyond what I expected. I would highly recommemd her to anyone. Clara thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you did for me and my kids. Everytime I look at their bears it makes me smile.

This year I had lost someone incredibly important to me. I knew I wanted to have something made as a memorial but I couldn’t find the right thing. And then I stumbled across Bella’s Bears.
Not only are the bears that she made for my son and I amazing, but the attention to detail, creativity and love that obviously goes into her creations is unparalleled. I can’t recommend her work enough. If you’re thinking of any kind of keepsake, do not hesitate to contact her! Every step of the process was professional, and with heart. She frequently communicated keeping me up to date on the progress, and asking for input to personalize our bears. Thank you so much for creating the perfect keepsake for us to remember such an amazing man.
