Black Safety Eyes – 18 mm

When you are creating truly massive hugs in the form of giant teddy bears or XL amigurumi, you need eyes that can match the scale. The 18 mm Black Safety Eyes are the largest in our standard round collection, designed for projects where impact is everything.

These jumbo eyes are essential when working with super chunky "blanket" yarns or thick fur textures. They provide a massive, deep black pupil that draws you in, ensuring your giant creation has a friendly and soulful face rather than a blank stare.

Why choose the 18 mm size:

• Maximum Visibility: Designed to stand out clearly even in the thickest, fluffiest yarns where smaller eyes would completely disappear.

• Deepest Gaze: The expansive glossy surface reflects a lot of light, giving your toy a "living" quality and a very sweet expression.

• High Quality: Made from robust, smooth polystyrene that maintains its shine.

• Certified Safety: Tested to EN71-3 standards, ensuring they are free from harmful substances.

• Secure Fit: Includes large, durable washers specifically designed to grip the wider stems.

Safety & Mounting Guidelines:

• Secure Attachment: Yarn naturally stretches and loosens over time. To ensure your handmade toy meets the same safety standards as store-bought items, a secure mounting process is vital.

• Melting Technique: For maximum security, we recommend melting the tip of the safety eye stem flat after attaching the washer. This creates a permanent "rivet" that is wider than the washer hole, preventing the eye from pulling through even if the stitches expand.

• Creator Responsibility: Creating toys for children under three carries great responsibility. Ensure eyes are solidly affixed and inspect your projects regularly to maintain safety as time passes.
