Hand Painted Safety Eyes for Amigurumi and Handmade Toys

Some of these New sets of hand painted safety eyes can now be purchased.
These hand painted eyes are made for people who make handmade toys and would like to make their toys even more lovable and unique. If you spend so much time on your creations, hand painted safety eyes are the final detail to be added to make your creations talk. Each safety eye is painted with care and also very fine materials are used - each pair of safety eyes is different. They are also easy to fit by hand. I mix colors. I create effects. I like to add pearl or gold effect. Also "reflection" or even glitter effect. Hand painted safety eyes look natural and that´s why are perfect for handmade toys, like amigurumi crocheted toys, handmade plushies, stuffed toys.

Eyes I´m painting are coming from Japan, where amigurumi originates! It means they are with really good quality. And I´m using fine artist colors and varnish. This makes them unique.




This is how I place them on a cardboard. So nice to see them all - to choose the best ones for your current toy or to match them with yarns you want to use for your further creations - to have a full overview of those nice extra details.
Some of these sets are made extra for a book: Cuddly Amigurumi Toys
