What size ( MM ) flat bottom glass dome bead is the best to use for making eyes?

Assuming you're talking about human eyes, newborn's are typically 16-17 mm. By age three they grow to 22-23 mm, and by age thirteen they reach their full size of about 24 mm .

Maybe you could use these:



They're readily available on ebay and are fairly inexpensive: http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-PCs-Plastic-Fake-Eyes-Eyeballs-for-Mask-Doll-Bear-Toy-/200545411108?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb1702024

These might also work, depending on your project:

and if you want your character to have wolf eyes or cat eyes or whatnot, that site offers a plethora of possibilities

Great question and one I've been meaning to ask. I want to add eyes to some full size skeletons but my real quandary is what size would I need for the 20" skeleton http://www.spirithalloween.com/mobile/product/gt-20inch-plastic-skeleton/ Or the small Walgreens skelly (I think he's 36")

Or what is the smallest eye/skeleton combo I can purchase...I'm making an undead monkey for my pirate theme this year

Perhaps these will work: http://www.ebay.com/itm/8pcs-Assorted-Doll-Animal-Puppet-Eyes-Eyeballs-Craft-Plastic-Safety-12mm-Round-/301141368943?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item461d6ca06f

They're 12 mm, about half of full sized human eyes, but they may work in a 20" skeleton.

You can just go to ebay and search "plastic eyes" or "fake eyes", and you'll find lots of different ideas.
