Create customized eyes with paint effects &#8211; paint spots, stripes, starbursts etc on the back of the eye first, let it dry, then coat the entire back of the eye with the base colour.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t like painting? 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! (Blue and pink felt eyes pictured below)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/eyes_clear_felt.jpg\" alt=\"clear animal eyes with felt colours for amigurumi\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By the way, the prices of <strong>all<\/strong> my eyes (clear and solid black) are now automatically discounted if you buy <strong>10 or more pairs<\/strong> of a single size and type \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<h2>And now onto the holiday sale&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>From now until December 24th, <strong>all patterns<\/strong> (crochet patterns, punchneedle patterns, and The Punchneedle Handbook) will be <strong>automatically discounted by 10%<\/strong> in <a href=\"\/shop\/\">the shop<\/a>.
