Black Safety Eyes – 8 Pairs (20 mm, 22 mm, 24 mm)

The eyes are often the most important part of a handmade toy—they define the character's expression and personality. This pack of Large Black Safety Eyes provides the classic, deep black finish that gives teddy bears and stuffed animals a warm and friendly gaze.

Curated specifically for larger projects, this mix pack allows you to have the right size on hand when working with chunky yarns or bigger patterns. Whether you are making a giant sloth or a huggable bear, these robust eyes ensure your creation looks professional and finished.

What’s inside the pack:

• Total Quantity: 8 pairs of eyes (16 eyes + 16 washers).

• Size Breakdown:

  • 3 pairs of 20 mm

  • 3 pairs of 22 mm

  • 2 pairs of 24 mm

Why crafters rely on them:

• Classic Look: The solid black pupil design works with every color of yarn and style of toy.

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

• Secure Locking: Includes sturdy safety washers.

• Pro Tip: For maximum security (especially for toys intended for small children), we recommend melting the tip of the stem down flat after snapping the washer on. This creates a permanent rivet that cannot be pulled apart.

Material: polystyrene (eyes) and polyethylene (washers).

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.
