You'll be able to bring your creations to life with these safety eyes. What could be more fun than making handmade comforters?
Are you familiar with the trend?
Take a drawing of your little one and make a custom-made plush toy following his or her design, adding cotton stuffing and your safety eyes. This will make him the designer and you the creator.
How to fit safety eyes?
For a fabric design, it's best to make a small "incision" in the fabric beforehand, where you want to position the eye.
1. Sew into the crochet, under the four sides of the back cap, like a grid.
2. Thread is passed under the back cap and wrapped tightly twice around the stem.
3. The thread is passed between the melt and the back cap, and wrapped tightly twice around the stem.
4. The crocheted hood is sewn firmly and close to the back of the eye, all around the eye.
It's crucial that the eyes are firmly secured in the crocheted/knitted project. Over time, almost all threads become loose, and elastic threads that stretch can create openings. This increases the risk of the whole eye falling out if the assembly is not securely fastened to the stitches.
