Memory Bird
- Description
- How it works
A smaller alternative to our memory clothes collection: This cute little bird is made from one or two articles of clothing. Perfect for those small pieces that might not be enough to make a bear or quilt. Measures approximately 4 inches tall x 6 inches wide and includes a convenient hanging ribbon. This is for ONE memory bird.
Some ideas for the memory birds:
- use baby's onesies to make a baby keepsake
- make one bird for each member of the family from their clothes and create your own 'family tree'
- make keepsake birdie ornaments for the holidays
- make several birds from clothes from a loved one who has passed away and give to all the members of the family.

Great process from start to finish! Very easy instructions, follow up along the way to ensure your belongings aren’t lost, along with easy tracking updates and finished product was beautiful! Thank you!
Best idea ever. I ordered and received 2 of the Itty Bears and they are perfect. Going to order a few of the birds for other family members.
My daughter lost her baby at 22 weeks after 5 days in ICU. They did such an amazing job with the remembrance birds made from her baby blanket and clothes that she was able to give to family members in remembrance of Rory. The bears were even more amazing. They rushed the order and it was so heartbreakingly beautiful.
The Memory Bird was made from fabric left from the simple Memory Bear I ordered. The bear was amazing and I didn't know what to expect of the bird... it is also AMAZING. They did such a great job and have such an eye for design and detail! Using most of the fabric and getting even more beautiful remembrances from the one sweater I had is such a blessing! This will be a lovely "ornament" to hang or display anywhere - even on a Christmas tree! The picture doesn't do it justice - it's ADORABLE and PERFECT. :)
Memory Bird
I had birds, hearts, and stars made from my mother’s clothes for Christmas. This was the first Christmas without my mother as she passed away in October. Everyone was very touched receiving these beautifully handcrafted gifts. Thank you Jenn and staff for helping to keep my mom’s presence in Christmas for years to come.
These are the cutest memory birds ever! They were exactly as pictured with my specific detail requests! Shipping was very fast and I received these just in time before Christmas! Definitely would recommend this company!
Well made and perfect memory piece to keep mum close
