To make glass safety eyes, mark the eye placement on your softie. Sew one glass eye onto strong thread, then repeat for the other eye. For customization, use pin heads or molds to craft unique designs. When working with resin, always use a dedicated oven for safety during the baking process.
Next, choose suitable fabric for your doll or plushie. Mark where the eyes will go for accurate placement. Apply a small amount of strong adhesive to the outer rim of the bead. Use tweezers to place the bead onto the fabric securely. Press gently to ensure a good bond. Repeat this process for the other eye.
After the adhesive dries, trim any excess fabric if necessary. The finished glass safety eyes will provide a realistic look, enhancing your doll or plushie’s character.
This DIY method offers a simple way to create lifelike features. Once you master making glass safety eyes, you can explore additional detailing techniques.
