Glass glue in eyes for needle felt creatures
Also available in two mix combinations:
- 3, 5, 7mm mixed pack 12 pairs of eyes (4 pairs of each size)
- 4 & 6mm mixed pack 12 pairs of eyes (6 pairs of each size)
Available in black, amber, blue, green and clear (to create your own colours using nail varnish).
When you have finished the shaping, simply make a hole by pushing your felting needle or other sharp object in to create a hole. Poke the shank of the eye into the hole, check you are happy with the position, and then add a dot of glue behind the eye.
More detailed instructions below for a finer finish:
Felt a dent at eye socket before you put them in. Push your felting needle all the way in to the fatter part to make a wide hole. If it is a predator animal (dog, cat, lion etc) push the needle toward the back of the head for forward facing eyes. If it is a prey animal (sheep, rabbit, mouse) push the needle toward the other side of the head to make the eyes more on the side for looking out for danger! When you take the felting needle out, insert eye along same line as the needle. Put both eyes in and check they are straight and the same distance from the nose, and you are happy with the look. Add a little dot of clear drying glue behind. You can also felt a little wool around the top half and bottom half of the eye to form an eyelid and help the eye to look less 'stuck on'.

from 1103 reviewsLooking forward to starting this kit.i have not done picture felt before. The quality looks great . I also have the robin and I will be in no doubt about purchasing the Kingfisher. Also great that it's liked to RSPB. Thankyou Makerss
Dear Makerrs I have not started this kit yet but I am looking forward to trying something different. I have enjoyed all previous kits that I have purchased from you. As always the instructions are clear. Thank you
I purchased this box as a one off as I watched Steffi on a Facebook live unboxing event and fell in love with Donkey and just had to buy him. The items in the box included felting mat, tools and lots of exciting colours of wool, I think it's fantastic, I just can't wait to start making him
This kit will be wonderful to create with all of the bright colors and no fixed pattern. Because I bought 2 of them I will be doing a "stabbing" party with a friend as we make them together.
Haven't used it yet, but it feels soft, and I like how it's biodegradable as well. Can't wait to try it.
Looks like a fun kit to make two beautiful cats.
So pleased I've managed to find these, really useful and saves stabbing of fingers whilst edging felts.
Lovely colour, love the fact that I can store my needles securely, well made, sturdy material
Nice size needle
Nice size, excellent quality
Both wool balls are excellent quality & nice size
Lovely & soft, well made & biodegradable
So excited. Just can’t wait to get the next one !
Looking at the kit I am very impressed with the quality. I am not going to be making it yet so can't comment on how it goes together, but looking forward to starting it later in the year.
Love quality. Easy to use. Value for money.
Lovely pale blue glue in eyes, means they can be pushed more blue or towards green with different wool colours behind them. I've got a mixed size pack and found they're make good "odd eyes" with the amber too.
I bought these blue eyes in 5mm and 6mm along with amber and green. While I absolutely love the other 2 colours I've been a little bit disappointed in the bigger blue ones as most of them are almost clear with only a hint of blue, which is a shame because otherwise these type of eyes are brilliant. I've had to spend time sorting through the whole packet to find 2 that are a definite blue and not sure I'll use the other ones as they don't look like any kind of colour against wool. I guess I could give a coat of blue paint to the backs but it kind of defeats the reason I bought blue rather than clear. Probably the only thing from this wonderful store that I've not been raving about. Never mind.
