I love, love, love using safety eyes! They come in all kinds of shapes and colors. They're really easy to use. And they're absolute magic when you're sewing with kids!
In the video I show you the two basic kinds. The black ones are available in some big box stores, but I've never seen the really fancy colorful ones anywhere but online. My favorite source is 6060 on Etsy. She has a terrific selection at good prices, she ships fast, and she's been very nice about putting together assortments for me when I ask. :-)
Give safety eyes a try! I guarantee you'll like them. :-)
Update - My friend Abby uses a nifty tool to poke the holes for her eyes - take a look!
In the monster pattern collection coming at the end of the month I use a mix of stitched, button and safety eyes so you can mix and match as you like.
Happy sewing!
Best,
Wendi
