FAQs
How do I attach these eyes securely?
You attach them by threading a needle and passing it through the loop on the back of the eye, then through your fabric. Stitch multiple times for a secure hold.
Can I glue these eyes on instead of sewing them?
These eyes are designed with a loop specifically for sewing. They are not intended for adhesive application and may not attach securely with glue.
What size are these toy eyes?
Each eye is 20mm in size.
What materials can I sew these eyes onto?
They are best suited for fabric materials such as felt, cotton, fleece, and other soft textiles used in crafting.
How many eyes come in a pack?
Each pack contains 4 wobbly toy eyes.
Are these eyes suitable for very young children's toys?
When securely sewn on, they can be suitable for children's toys. However, always ensure a very strong attachment and check for safety standards relevant to the age group.
What is the color of these eyes?
The eyes are a classic black and white combination.
Troubleshooting
Eyes feel loose after sewing.
Reinforce the stitching by sewing over the loop multiple times with strong thread. Ensure knots are tied securely.
Thread is difficult to pass through the loop.
Use a fine-tipped needle. If the loop opening seems obstructed, gently clear it with a pin before threading.
Desired wobbly effect is not pronounced.
Ensure the eye is attached loosely enough within the sewn loop to allow for movement, but not so loose that it becomes a safety hazard.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
To attach the Craft Factory Sew On Wobbly Toy Eyes, simply thread a needle with matching or contrasting thread. Pass the needle through the loop on the back of the eye and then through the fabric where you wish to place the eye. Repeat this process several times, ensuring the thread is pulled taut with each stitch to secure the eye firmly. Tie off the thread securely on the inside of the fabric if possible.
Compatibility:
These eyes are compatible with a wide range of fabrics, including felt, cotton, fleece, and other soft materials commonly used in toy making and plush crafts. They are ideal for handmade stuffed animals, puppets, dolls, and other fabric-based creations.
Care:
To care for items featuring these toy eyes, gentle hand washing is recommended. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the eyes. If the item requires machine washing, place it inside a mesh laundry bag to protect the eyes and other embellishments.
