FAQs

What sizes are the Wapsi Dolls Eyes - Yellow available in?

The Wapsi Dolls Eyes - Yellow are available in 4mm and 7mm sizes.

What colors are available for the Wapsi Dolls Eyes?

The available color combinations are Yellow/Black, White/Black, and Fire Orange/Black.

Can the pupils be removed or repositioned permanently?

The pupils are designed to be moveable within the eye socket but are not intended for permanent repositioning or removal.

Are these eyes safe for baby toys?

While durable, the small parts present a potential choking hazard for infants. Ensure they are securely attached and consider the age appropriateness for the final product. Adult supervision is recommended during attachment.

How do I attach these eyes to felt?

You can either sew them securely onto the felt using a strong thread or use a fabric glue or craft glue suitable for plastics and felt.

Will the rattling sound be loud?

The rattling sound is designed to be subtle, providing a gentle auditory cue rather than a loud noise.

Can I paint these eyes to a different color?

Painting plastic eyes can be challenging due to adhesion issues. While possible with the right primer and paint, it may affect the finish and durability. It is generally recommended to use the available colors.

Troubleshooting

Eyes feel loose after attachment.

Re-secure the eyes using additional stitching or a stronger adhesive. Ensure the surface area for adhesion is clean and dry.

Pupils are not rattling.

Gently tap or shake the eye to dislodge the internal rattle. Ensure the eye is not obstructed by the material it's attached to.

Adhesive is not holding the eye securely.

Ensure you are using an adhesive appropriate for plastic and the project material. Clean both surfaces thoroughly before application and allow sufficient curing time.

Scratching or discoloration of the eye surface.

Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. Use only a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Store projects carefully to prevent scratching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These eyes are typically attached by either sewing them into fabric or using a strong adhesive suitable for plastics and your project material. For sewing, ensure a strong thread is used to secure the eye firmly in place. For gluing, apply the adhesive to the back of the eye or the designated surface and press firmly, allowing adequate drying time as per the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility: Wapsi Dolls Eyes are compatible with most common crafting materials, including fabrics, felt, plush, polymer clay, and wood. Ensure the adhesive used is compatible with both the eye material (plastic) and the base material of your project.

Care: To clean the eyes, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away any dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic or obscure the finish. If the eyes are used on a washable toy, hand-wash the item gently and allow it to air dry completely.
