Turn Your Photo Into a Plush
Our makers sew it by hand from the photos you send: you, your family, your pet or a toy you lost years ago. One plush, made to order for you.
What can you turn into a plush?
Pick what’s in your photo. Each one has its own page with more toys we’ve made.
Got an AI picture of yourself as a plush? We sew the real one
You upload a selfie, ask an AI for a plushie version and get a sweet picture of yourself as a soft toy. You can’t hug a picture, though.
Send us that picture with a few clear photos of the real person. The picture shows the style you like. The photos keep the face, hair and beard recognizable.
That’s how our Bearded Look-Alike doll was made: photos of a real man, an AI picture of him as a little felt doll, then the plush our maker sewed by hand. The picture only showed the front, so the maker worked out the back of the head and the blazer seam. Our patchwork bunny also started as an AI picture.
No AI picture? Photos alone are enough.

How a photo becomes a plush
Four steps, and you see the toy before it ships. More on how we work.
Ordering for Christmas? Order by November 1. See our Christmas plush gifts.
Plush we’ve made from photos
Each of these was sewn to order for one customer, from the photos they sent.
Made to order since 2009
We’ve been sewing custom plush since 2009, more than 2,100 toys so far, one customer at a time. You see photos of your toy before it ships. If something looks off, we change it before anything is packed.
If you still don’t love it, tell us within 14 days. You get a full refund, and you keep the toy. Read the guarantee.
Photo to plush questions
One clear photo is enough for a quote. For the toy itself, more helps.
For a person, send the face from the front and from the side, a photo that shows the hair, and the outfit you want. For a pet, send the front, the side and the back, plus close-ups of the markings and the eye colour. Phone photos are fine. Old photos are fine too.
Yes. Send the AI picture along with a few clear photos of the real person or pet. The AI picture tells us the style you like, and the photos keep the likeness.
An AI picture usually shows only the front, so our maker works out the rest. Our Bearded Look-Alike doll was made this way.
It will look like a handmade toy of your photo, which is not quite the same as a copy of it. Fabric has thickness, and a face has to work in three dimensions.
What we aim for is the moment you open the box and recognize it. You see photos of the finished toy before it ships, and we change anything that looks off.
Making usually takes 2–4 weeks, depending on size and detail. Then delivery usually takes 7–20 business days, a little longer around the holidays. We ship worldwide.
For Christmas, order by November 1.
Every toy is handmade, so each one is priced on its own. Starting prices: lost toy replicas from $295, plush from a drawing or picture from $300, portrait dolls from $365, pet plush from $390. A bigger size or extra details can cost more.
The quote is free. Regular post worldwide typically costs $50–60.
Anything from about 20 cm (8 in), small enough to hold in your hands, to 60 cm (24 in) and up. Portrait dolls are usually 30–50 cm (12–20 in) tall. For a lost toy we can match the size of the original.
Tell us the size you have in mind and we’ll put it in the quote.

Why?
No ready-made pattern. Your photo or drawing doesn’t come with one. Our artist builds the pattern from scratch and turns a flat picture into a 3D toy. It’s the hardest and slowest part.
Materials picked for your toy. The right color, fur length and texture. Sometimes we order fabric just for one project.
Sewn by hand. Every piece is cut, sewn, stuffed and finished by hand. The face takes the most time: move an eye a millimeter and the character changes.
You approve it first. When your toy is ready, we send you photos. Something looks off? We fix it before shipping.
One toy, not a thousand. A factory spreads design costs over thousands of copies. Here, all that work goes into one toy: yours.
That’s why prices start at $350. And on a personal order, if you don’t love your toy, you get a full refund.
