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 1133 reviewsThis was recommended to me on a felting site. I must say I'm really impressed. I like the feel when it goes through the wool. The weight of it, everything to be honest, glad I bought it.
Loved making my Jacob Sheep and look forward to the collection of different breeds., using their own fleece. Such a creative idea.!
I just love how good these look for noses and tails. You don't want to cover them.

A lovely quality wool and such a rich colour
I live in the USA and even though international postage costs can be high, I still prefer to buy from the Makerrs. All of their products are high quality and I like that they focus on being eco-friendly. The support and encouragement I've found with having a Flock membership is invaluable. The Flock Gatherings are a lot of fun. I am inspired and learn new things every month! Highly recommended! Steffi and her team are wonderful.
Love these eyes. Very easy to put in with a little glue. Make my sculptures look more realistic.
My go to product.
What a lovely gardening set, very impressed, now to make something to go with it.
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.
