I have been looking for GOOD QUALITY Craft Eyes for a while now. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of the toy eyes I find in the local craft shops are cheap and nasty. The washers are soft and loose and sometimes don’t even fit on! When I have made a special toy, the last things I want to do is to ruin it with horrible toy eyes that will come loose in next to no time.<\/p>\n

Finally I’ve found<\/strong> excellent craft eyes<\/strong><\/span><\/a> that have nice, firm washers that fit securely. I love these high-quality craft eyes so much I have decided to

Craft Eyes are really easy to insert when you know how<\/strong>. They look so professional, they really finish your toy off nicely! I have a photo tutorial to show you how to insert Craft Eyes<\/strong> – Photo Tutorial for great looking peepers!<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

I have had lots of fun<\/strong> experimenting with different sizes of toy eyes<\/strong>. It can make a big difference to the over-all look of your stuffed animals – I wrote a blog post about this – My what big Eyes you’ve got!<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I have been careful to call these toy eyes CRAFT EYES and NOT SAFETY EYES. <\/strong>These toy eyes are NOT safe for babies and should not be used for toys that are for children under 3 years old. It’s hard because I have referred to these plastic clip-in eyes as safety eyes most of my life, BUT ‘Safety Eyes’ are the eyes that are fused to the toy fabric with heat and are used by toy-manufacturers so they can say ‘safe for babies’ on their baby toys. You can read more about toy safety in this blog post<\/strong><\/span><\/a> but I like to keep things simple so I stick to this golden rule –\u00a0 “When in doubt – leave it out!” <\/strong>\ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I’ll be adding more Craft Eyes to the<\/strong> Toy Supplies Section<\/strong><\/span><\/a> of the website as I get the funds to add to my stock so pop back from time to time to see what I have got in or sign up for my newsletter (on my website homepage) or follow me on Facebook.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
