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

I would have never thought of using lentils.  Cute bulldog!

For now I've mostly used safety yes and sewed moving eyes. Once I crocheted eyes for the doll myself/ Loked great!

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 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.

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!

That’s really creative! I have tried using waterproof makeup to draw my own eyes, or cutting felt into particular shapes, and glueing it altogether.

Eu uso olhos com trava de segurança e às vezes também uso feltro. O feltro eu não colo, eu vou espetando com a agulha de feltragem até ficar bem preso

Very creative idea! I've tried hand felting eyes and they turn out lovely, but very time consuming, I try not to stray from safety eyes.

Muchas gracias por compartir.

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.

I have to check, I used fresh eyes lentils 2 months, but at the end I add 2 coats of varnish to protect well ... :)

I use the wiggly eyes for some of my dolls, but for my dogs I use the dog eyes from the craft store, they look real:)

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.

You have to choose green lentils that have good form, so that both eyes look the same ...
