Black Safety Eyes – 8 mm (Medium Standard)

The8 mm Black Safety Eyesare a favorite among crafters who want to give their characters a slightly bolder, more "puppy-dog" välimus without going too big. While 6 mm is standard for small items, 8 mm is the go-to size for medium-sized amigurumi.

This size is incredibly versatile. It fits perfectly on larger dolls made with cotton yarn, but it also has enough presence to stand out on toys made with thicker DK weight or light velvet yarns. They provide a deep, soulful gaze that instantly makes any handmade creature välimus huggable.

Why choose the 8 mm size:

• Versatile Medium Size: The perfect step up when you want a cuter, more open-eyed expression than the smaller sizes offer.

• High Quality: Made from smooth, glossy polystyrene that reflects light to create a lively välimus.

• Certified Safety: Tested toEN 71-3standards, ensuring they are free from harmful substances.

• 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.
