Ideas for amigurumis eyes ... that you have used? Once utlilicé lentils food, I painted black and glued them to my pequeñlo amigurumi of 5 cm and was beautiful English bulldog ... Look at their eyes from my bulldog ... :D
Very creative! I think polymer clay is perfect for crafting your own custom sized eyes for small plushies, if the safety eyes don't fit or you don't like the look of it. You only have to bake it for a few minutes if the bead is small! Embroidery is also feasible and pretty on miniatures.
That's super creative and awesome to see! I usually use safety eyes or crocheted eyes, it depends on the project really. Some amigurumi look better with the safety eyes rounded and shiny, and the crochet eyes look better when you need reallllly big eyes I think.
Nunca se me habría ocurrido utilizar algo así pero es una buena opción.
Dependiendo del tamaño de mi figura yo suelo tejerlos lo más similar posible al ejemplo, o hacerlos con nudo frances. Yo no consigo ojitos de seguridad ni parecidos...
Gracias por la idea :D
I've used the wiggly ones and the safety ones but more and more I'm interested in the embroidered ones. Youtube is my go to when I want to learn anything new. I found a couple of really good ones downloaded to try.
I use shank buttons sometimes due to the variety of colors. They're also much easier to copy in resin if I need a very specific color.
Am thinking about felting the eyes as it looks so neat in some projects!

I have used clear safety eyes that I paint myself, buttons and the decorative glass stones used in fish tanks and gardens. If using the stones, the dolls will not be for children.
Igual que la mayoría, ojos de seguridad, bordados y recientemente pintados con pintura para tela en peyon y luego bordados a la carita. Nunca hubiese pensado en lentejas.
Cute! I’m always very careful with eyes since most of my pieces go to my 18 month old, and he will put anything in his mouth. Safety eyes or crocheted eyes are my go to!
Thanks for sharing that - I would be afraid that the lentils would deteriorate over time but as you have excluded the air with paint, that might not happen.
Is there a video that instructs how to embroider large eyes onto crochet? I see a lot of foreign patterns that say "embroider eyes" but no explanation on how to do so.
Even if the video is in another language, that's fine. I just need to watch someone do it. thanks in advance!
I have used safety eyes, or crochet ones for certain animals, used wiggly eyes on small dolls like fairies, but I´d like to try painting some onto felt or cloth in the future as you can make these really expressive I think.
