FAQs
How many eyes are in a pack?
Each pack contains 8 sew-on wobbly toy eyes.
What is the size of these eyes?
The eyes are 15mm in diameter.
Can these eyes be glued on?
These eyes are specifically designed for sewing. They have a loop on the back for attachment with a needle and thread and are not intended for gluing.
What material are these eyes made from?
The product description does not specify the material, but they are typical plastic craft eyes suitable for sewing.
Are these eyes safe for children's toys?
When properly and securely sewn onto a fabric item, they are a common choice for toy making. Always ensure secure attachment for safety.
Can I attach these to a wooden craft?
These eyes are designed for fabric. For wood, you would need to attach a piece of fabric first and then sew the eye to the fabric.
What is the 'wobbly' feature?
The wobbly feature means the eye pupil (or the entire eye) has a slight range of motion, giving the toy a more animated or lively appearance when it moves.
Troubleshooting
Eyes are not wobbly enough
Ensure there is enough space around the eye mechanism and that the fabric is not stretched too tightly over the loop. Gently test the movement.
Thread is difficult to pass through the loop
Use a sharp, fine-tipped needle. If using a thicker thread, consider a needle with a larger eye.
Eyes feel loose after sewing
Add more stitches through the loop, ensuring each stitch goes securely into the fabric. Use a strong, durable thread and consider knotting the thread securely on the inside of the toy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These toy eyes are designed for direct sewing. Use a needle and thread to pass through the loop on the back of each eye, securing them firmly to your fabric project. It is recommended to use a strong polyester or upholstery thread for maximum durability.
Compatibility: Primarily compatible with fabric-based crafts such as plush toys, stuffed animals, felt creations, puppets, and other sewn textile projects. They are not designed for gluing applications or for attaching to rigid materials like plastic or wood without fabric backing.
Care: Since these eyes are sewn onto fabric items, the care instructions follow those of the finished craft. Generally, gently hand-wash or spot-clean the item. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the eyes, as this could potentially loosen threads over time. Ensure the item is fully dry before allowing children to play with it.
