Thread: Ideas & how to's to make eyes?!

Tweet

I am making my 1st groundbreaker & witch! I have no idea on what to do for the eyes & I have looked all over & there's no one place I can find discussing this. I beg you please to throw all of your wonderful ideas & how to's at me!

Try Monsterguts.com They sell eyeball blanks for $1. for a dzn. They also sell led kits for your eyes too.

Try this thread. I bookmarked it when I first spotted it as the results look VERY lifelike.

Easy cheap realistic eyeballs!!!!!!

just make them out of pingpong balls heres pics of my eyeballs

If you're short on time, you can buy 4 packs (that's two pairs, not four pairs) of eyeballs at Michaels. They look pretty good and are the same size as ping pong balls.

When I have to make human-like eyes (rarer than you'd think), I use the Haunters Hangout tutorial. It's essentially a ball (ping pong or deodorant) that you paint red on the bottom and glue a paper print out of an eyeball on top. It turns out well. They have a downloadable sheet of iris patterns that look great.

Then again, when I do eyes, I normally wind up just painting them on, but I've done it for years with ceramic pieces; I'm used to it.

So, ping pong ball, red paint, glue, print out, done.

Thank you all SOOOOOOO MUCH!!! All fabulous ideas! I'm going to try them all!!! Seriously! I'll find out which way is best for me. You've all helped this newbie a ton!
