Safety Eyes | Black | 12mm | 50 Eyes with 50 Washers - Amigurumi Toy Eyes

Give a handmade toy a clean, glossy face that will not pull loose in play. These black plastic safety eyes measure 12mm across, push through the fabric from the front and lock with a washer pressed on from behind. The pack holds 50 eyes and 50 washers, enough for 25 characters with two eyes each, which makes this size a sensible buy for medium amigurumi, teddies and fabric characters.

Specifications

Perfect for

• Medium amigurumi animals and dolls
• Fleece and felt soft toys
• Hand sewn plush characters
• Nursery decor figures

Compatibility

Works with: crochet and knitted fabric, felt, fleece and soft toy fabric, and any material the post can pass through.

Pairs well with: amigurumi yarn, crochet hooks and toy stuffing.

Not suitable for: wood, hard plastic or any solid surface the post cannot pierce, and for pieces that are already stuffed and closed, because the washer has to be reached from inside.

How to Use

1. Mark both eye positions before you stuff the piece, then check how they look from the front.
2. Push the post through the fabric from the outside, spreading the stitches apart rather than cutting them.
3. Press a washer onto the post from the inside, flat side against the fabric.
4. Push the washer down until it will not move, then stuff and close the piece.

Before You Buy

• The pack holds 50 eyes and 50 washers, so it covers 25 characters with two eyes each.
• Fit the eyes before stuffing. Once a washer is pressed home it is meant to stay, so get the position right the first time.
• These are small loose parts until they are fitted. Keep them away from young children and pets while you work.
• The main photo shows the range packaging rather than this exact size, so go by the 12mm stated here.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many eyes do I get in a pack?
50 eyes and 50 washers, which is 100 pieces in total and enough for 25 characters with two eyes each.

How is 12mm different from the other sizes?
The eye is identical across the range apart from the diameter. 12mm sits between 10mm and 14mm, so step down to 10mm for a smaller face and up to 14mm when the head is bigger.

Will these hold in loose crochet fabric?
Yes. The post passes between the stitches and the washer grips from behind. On a loose fabric, work the post through a gap rather than a cut so the stitches close tightly around it.
