How Our Project Works - Making Items

If you are here, you want to make Teeny Tears approved items and we would love your help. There are currently three main items that are approved and distributed by Teeny Tears. A large and small diaper set, large and small mini-blankets and three sizes of stockinette hats. We coordinate all donations directly at Headquarters and look forward to helping you coordinate a donation to a hospital in need or receiving your items at our headquarters for future distribution. We currently serve more than 2,500 hospitals, with more facilities joining our project every week. Teeny Tears diaper patterns are used EXCLUSIVELY within the confines of the Teeny Tears project. (If you are a health care professional wishing to request Teeny Tears items AT NO CHARGE for your facility, please visit this link.)

Step one: Decide what you want to make! Do you want to make diapers, stockinette hats and/or mini-blankets?
Step two: Request patterns, sewing instructions and get all your questions answered. The form shown below is the way to request your diaper patterns and sewing instructions. Thank you in advance for your patience. Processing these requests can take up to two weeks.
Step three: Create your items!
Step four: Request distribution cards. These are printable cards placed with each donation. On the card we give you the opportunity to donate your items in memory of a particular person/angel and make sure we recognize your efforts.
Step five: Contact our team to determine where your items will go. Each donation is different! Some will go directly to a hospital in need, as arranged and approved by our team. Some will come to our HQ for future distribution. EVERY donation of Teeny Tears items is coordinated by the Teeny Tears headquarters team and ALL deliveries are recorded in our internal database.
Step six: Deliver or ship your items! After shipping/delivering your pre-approved items to the designated facility, notify Teeny Tears headquarters so that the donation is recorded as "complete".

I am interested in receiving more information on:

Teeny Tears Diaper Patterns

Teeny Tears Distribution Cards

Youth Service Projects

I understand that Teeny Tears diaper patterns are used EXCLUSIVELY within the confines of the Teeny Tears project. I further understand that Teeny Tears is a centrally coordinated project, that headquarters helps coordinate the distribution of ALL diaper sets worldwide and that Teeny Tears keeps a meticulous record of ALL diaper donations.

I Agree

Approved Teeny Tears Items

Complete tutorials on how we create and package all of our items is available by using the "tutorial" link on the menu above.

Diapers are found in two sizes and are always donated in matching identical pairs. The small diapers fit babies between 18-23 weeks and the large diapers fit babies between 24-32 weeks.

Mini-Blankets are created for babies that are too small for our diaper sets and come with a pair of identical no-sew hats. The small mini-blankets fit babies 14-16 weeks and the large mini-blankets fit babies 17-18 weeks.

Stockinette no-sew hats come in three sizes and are donated in identically matching pairs with other Teeny Tears clothing items. Hats are never donated alone to a hospital. We happily accept hats alone at our headquarters, where they will be matched up with other existing items before donation to a hospital in need. Our 2" hats fit babies between 14-16 weeks, 3" hats fit babies between 17-23 weeks and 4" hats fit babies between 24-32 weeks.
