The Tim Peake Denim Bear

A unique handmade bear made from a pair of jeans donated by Tim Peake.

The bear was created as part of The Great Teddy Bear Project, which features 21 uniquely crafted teddy bears made from jeans donated by famous names from the worlds of music, TV and OUTER SPACE!

Handmade by Canterbury Bears at their workshop in the Kentish countryside, each bear is embroidered with the signature of the celebrity whose jeans they are made from.

The project is organised in support of Together for Short Lives, the UK’s leading charity for the 99,000 children with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition and their families.
