★ SKILL LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE

★ MATERIALS AND TOOLS :

  • Yarn: You can use any yarn that is comfortable and/or suitable for you. I used «Pehorka New Kid’s» yarn (acrylic, 50g ~ 200m, 30sс in 4 inches), colors – white, black. For a heart - floss in 3 threads («Iris» is also suitable), red color.
  • Hook №2 (2mm, for Pehorka yarn), hook №1 (1mm, for floss)
  • The plastic safety joints or cotter pins and joint disks: I used the disks 12mm in diameter for the arms (4pcs), 20mm in diameter for the legs (4pcs), 15mm in diameter for the head (2pcs), cotter pins 2х20mm (5pcs), washers – 10pcs
  • Fiberfill (to stuff)
  • Eyes 8mm. It will be more comfortable to use the plastic pin eyes, the classic safety eyes (screw) are also suitable (we don’t need a plug, only the eyes themselves), but it will be a little more difficult to work with them Additionally, for the heart you will need:
  • Thin wire (0.4mm) 1pc ~13cm long
  • Metal small beads 5pcs, round white pearl beads 3pcs (Swarovski pearls for example, one bead smaller Ø3mm, the second larger Ø4mm, the third larger Ø6mm)
  • 1pc of plastic or cardboard, 2pcs foamiran (or isolon) to insert inside the heart. Heart size 3x2.5cm
  • Strong thread for sculpting, needle, safety pins, scissors, glue (Moment Crystal), thin stick (for the convenience of stuffing small parts).
