Troubleshooting
Eyes do not stay attached
Ensure you are using a strong thread and have sewn through the eye's flat back multiple times. Check that the stitches are tight and secure.
Difficulty sewing through the eye
Use a thinner needle and ensure the thread is not too thick. Sew slowly and deliberately, guiding the needle through the pre-made holes or around the edge of the flat back.
Pupils become fixed or stiff
Avoid excessive moisture or harsh cleaning methods. If the pupils are initially stiff, gently wiggle them to loosen them before permanent attachment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These are sew-on eyes. To attach them, you will need a needle and thread. Select the desired eye size for your project. Place the eye on the material where you want it positioned. Using a needle and thread, carefully stitch around the edge of the eye's flat back, securing it firmly to the project. Ensure stitches are tight to prevent the eye from coming loose.
Compatibility:
These eyes are compatible with a wide range of materials, including fabric, felt, fleece, and other craft bases. They are ideal for stuffed animals, puppets, dolls, scrapbooking, card making, and general decorative crafts.
Care:
To clean items adorned with these googly eyes, spot clean the area around the eyes with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the entire project in water if possible, as prolonged moisture could affect the material or the eye's attachment. If washing is necessary, use a gentle cycle and mild detergent, and air dry.
