Lay out a folded piece of fleece on which the picture viewer will be mounted to. Sketch out a big heart around it. That will form the main body.

Cut out two pieces of fleece that will be the arms. You can cut out a large rectangular piece and fold that in half to form a tube for the arm. Lay out the material and adjust the proportions by eyeballing it.

Cut out two accent pieces of white felt which will form the "hands".

Attach the white felt to the fleece at the end with a serger or by using a straight stitch on a sewing machine or by hand.

With the seams on the outside, fold it in half and sew the long edge and closing off the hand end to complete the arm tube.

Take an implement to help you turn/flip the tube inside out. A chopstick, ruler, or a drumstick would work great.

Stuff the arm with a bit of fiberfill or polyester batting.

Sew three lines in the hands to form the indentations for the fingers. Instructables Robot only has 4 fingers and no opposing thumbs.

You can also close off the end of the arm tube by sewing it.
