Shawl Every Day 2021 - Day 39 - Safety Eyes

For most of my plushies, when I want to add eyes, I use a product called safety eyes. They are made of plastic and have a post on the back that goes through your item. Then there is another plastic-y/rubbery pieces that slides over the post such that it is a one-way operation. The only way to remove the eye from your item would be to cut the rubber piece off the back. This makes the eyes very safe for plushies made for kids, as the eyes are unlikely to be ripped off and swallowed.

As you can see, I have many colors and sizes (although currently out of 7mm eyes!) that I keep in custom 3D printed drawers. I try to always keep some on hand because I do love making cute plushies with faces. :)
