Thread: Easy cheap realistic eyeballs!!!!!!

Tweet

I've seen something like this before on a special effects make up thing, only instead of ping pong balls they used those little styrofoam half shells used for packaging. They also used yarn (or red thread), and painted the iris on. I dont'remember what they sealed it with but I'm sure any sealer works. It would be a good alternative for someone looking to use the eye for their costume.

You have to remember one thing, styrofoam will be eaten by some paints and sealers, not just anything is going to work, but hey, that's how one comes up with cool results.

I am trying these today (or at least starting), so I'll share how they turn out.

Well, I thought I was going to make these today but can't find the printable irises. Can ayone direct me to them?

Haunters Hangout Easy Eyes
I spent all day doing eyes, eyes and more eyes.
I use white sculpey for the eyeball and jewelry glaze for the sealer.

my what nice eyes you have.........the better to see you with my dear

When you have the iris of the eye positioned correctly glue it with some ol' fashioned Elmer's white glue. Then once it's set and dried try very lightly, and I mean lightly rub some more Elmers over it and let it dry again. Then Poly away. That should fix the problem.

Hope that helps !!!.

Awesome job! Thanks for posting.

Thanks winklesun. I have the red painted. Will move onto the next step tomorrow.

Thanks so much for sharing this thread. They look amazing! I bought my balls tonight. Looking forward to giving this a go!
