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'.

Nice little blue eyes

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.

Hmmm?

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.
