I don&#8217;t know if you&#8217;ve seen them, but most of them look really awful &#8211; the colours are so vivid it makes them look like they are staring. I bought some brown ones and I couldn&#8217;t use them for anything because they look so scary:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/eyes_coloured.jpg\" alt=\"black and coloured animal eyes for amigurumi\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Black eyes and scary brown eyes<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve come up with a better solution &#8211; clear plastic eyes:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/eyes_clear.jpg\" alt=\"clear animal eyes for amigurumi\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Clear eyes<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Advantages of clear eyes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Paint the flat back of the eye with acrylic paint to get the exact shade you want.<\/li>\n<li>Feeling artistic?

No problem! Just cut a square of felt a little larger than the eye, snip a little cross shape in the middle to poke the shaft of the eye through, then trim the felt so it is the same size as the eye &#8211; easy!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/eyes_clear_felt.jpg\" alt=\"clear animal eyes with felt colours for amigurumi\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Make any shade of eyes using subtle- or bright-coloured felt!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, my question for you today is, would you be interested in buying these clear eyes if I stocked them in the PlanetJune shop? (They would cost approx the same as the black eyes I already carry.) Please vote below so I can get an idea of interest!
