How to Make the Untamed Heart ITH Valentine Plushie

He’s wooly and untamed – it’s the Untamed Heart! A bit goofy and frazzled but adorable just the same. This ITH plushie comes in 2 sizes. The larger guy is made in a 5×7 hoop and has limbs and mittens you can add. The smaller guy is made in a 4×4 hoop and has no limbs or mittens (because some quick bending of 2 chenille stems or pipe cleaners give him the arms and legs to make him super cute.)

Here’s the full video tutorial on how to make both sizes. Note the “chapters” in the video for the two different sizes.


This free video is provided in addition to instructions bundled in your download.

There is a series of videos to help with repeated steps like armatures, turning, stuffing, hair and clothes. Please visit the page Making ITH cloth characters for a series of dollmaking tutorials.
