Safety Eyes – 7 mm

Sometimes, a single millimeter makes all the difference in capturing a character's personality. The 7 mm Black Safety Eyes are the ideal choice when the standard 6 mm feels just a tiny bit too small, but 8 mm looks too "bug-eyed."

This intermediate size is perfect for slightly larger cotton yarn projects or smaller toys made with fine chenille or velvet yarn. They provide a bold, defined look that ensures your handmade creation has a friendly and engaging gaze.

Why choose the 7 mm size:

• Perfect Intermediate Fit: Excellent for projects that need a bit more expression than the standard small eye offers.

• High Quality: Crafted from smooth, glossy polystyrene that reflects light beautifully to bring the face to life.

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

• Secure Fit: Includes durable polyethylene washers that lock firmly onto the 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.
