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'.

Another good quality product, giving the perfect finishing touches to needlefelt bugs. Customer service is excellent, as always. Fast delivery too. Thank you!
I really enjoy the flock box, a lovely kit, great having online craft event with Steffi as well. Thoroughly recommend, a lot of thought is put into each box.
A great finish to hand made items.
As I live in Spain someone kindly brought this over yesterday for me as it was delivered to my daughter's.
The packaging and colours of the felts and packets are so bright and vibrant and can't wait to start them this afternoon!!!
Opened my first packet this morning, brooch pins. Can’t wait to see what will be in tomorrow’s packet.
Started my advent project, firstly the lemons, good clear instructions with pictures.
I have bought earth mats in the past, using them in my felting workshops and they last for a long time, making them really good value for money.
This is my first subscription and i am very pleased with ii. Would definitely recommend
Great product as always.
A good sized sharp pair scissors for cutting material and embroidery thread. The rainbow colours of the handle are great so they don’t get misplaced.
As usual fantastic step by step instructions
Gorgeous, can’t wait to make him. Monthly subscription never fails to empress me each month. Well worth it.
This is the third year of buying the advent calendar and each year gets better and better. My young daughter had developed a passion for needle felting so wonder how much will disappear. Might have to buy two next year.
Lovely selection of wools and try me products, can’t wait for the facebook live event.
Easy to use eyes, make a hole, push the eye in, adding a bit of glue.
Found them a little fiddly at first but did the job fine once I had mastered them 👍🏼❣️
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.
