School Leavers Caterpillar
This wiggly caterpillar is a fantastic keepsake for school leavers, and a brilliant way to fondly remember the formative school years.
Made from the school uniform you send us, our School Leavers Caterpillar has plenty of sections where we can use your clothes to create something that is truly unique. For the legs, we tend to use our own material to match the colours you've sent us.
Keepsake Cushions
With a range of different school leavers cushions, they each are different, great for accommodating different budgets, and stages of school life.
Our School Leavers Cushion is the perfect way to treasure fond memories from school, and a lovely gift for any child to receive. They're usually some of the best days of our lives and this cushion marks a great way to remember them forever.
Our memory cushion can be made with one jumper or cardigan, or a t shirt, shirt or dress, the choice is yours. We can also add embroidery to your cushion if you choose!
Leaving school is a huge milestone in a child's life, and those times are something they'll remember and treasure forever. Our personalised school leavers lion is the perfect way to remember those days, creating a lasting memento they'll treasure forever. They are super soft and fluffy!
Made out of a school top, t-shirt, jumper or cardigan, each lion can be personalised with a special message such as the years they attended the school, or the school name.
In the back of the lion is a small pocket which can be used for a variety of purposes. You can add a handwritten note that the recipient can pull out and read at any time, or maybe they can add a small item to help them remember their school days.
How Does it All Work?
Step 1:
Decide what items you'd like to send us. This is step one as the most important thing is choosing the items that are sentimental to you and the ones you really want to treasure.
The only thing to bear in mind are thick materials like leather and denim can be tricky to work with, thin materials like chiffon may be delicate and affect the durability of the finished item.
Step 2:
Choose your keepsake. We have a wide range of keepsake options, of course our classic bears but many other animals too, as well as blankets, cushions and much more.
Personalise your order online and checkout when ready!
Step 3:
Post your items to us. You will have two choices at checkout to 'choose your own method' for postage. We always recommend sending it tracked whichever company you choose.
You have 12 months from ordering to send us your items. Make sure to add any specific notes in the parcel you'd like our team to know.
Step 4:
Off to our memory makers. We will let you know when the clothing arrives with us. Standard turnaround is approximately 4 weeks subject to availability. With options to upgrade to an express 1 week turnaround.
Our memory makers will take excellent care of your items and contact you if we have any questions regarding your order whilst making.
Step 5:
Receive your keepsake. Your item will be sent back to you via tracked courier. Keepsakes are sent in a cotton dust bag for protection and storage once you receive the item.
Make sure to send us a picture of your finished piece with a review for our gallery!
