Hi Mandalay, Safety eyes have a thick post (attached to the eye part). Poke a hole in the fabric, stick the post through, and force the round washer thing over the post to hold it in place.

You need to do this before you stuff the head, so the result is harder to control.

Hi Becky
Thanks for this it was getting the depth to the eye socket I was worried about but I realise now I just have to sculpt that after I’m such an idiot sometimes ??

LOL - definitely not an idiot! bear_original  The sculpting afterwards will help you get the look you’re after.

I hope to see photos when you’re done!
