Felt Craft: Attaching Googly Eyes to a Felt Lady Bug

Video Transcript

"Alright, we're going to bring our ladybug to life now. You want to make sure that you have your googooly eyes ready. You're going to need two. And you want to get the bigger googooly eyes. They come in all shapes, believe it or not. They have really small ones and really big ones. And you want to give it that character feel, so get the really big, funny ones. And where we have our points of our wings, we're going to cover those with our googooly eyes. So on the left point, you want to space out your left eye, and over the right point, you want to space out your right eye. And make sure the tips of those wings are covered so that you can't tell that they've been glued there. Again, you're going to want to make sure that you have a glue gun or epoxy glue or fabric glue. Pick your first eye up, and in the center of the eye you want to do a pretty good size of glue on these, because they're a little heavier than fabric. So you want to get about an eraser-size side of glue. And we're just going to flip that over, cover our point, and hold that down. Make sure you hold down the eyes for about ten seconds, because, again, these are heavier than your standard fabric, and you don't want those falling off. And then we're going to pick up our second eye, and we're going to flip it over, and we're going to do the same thing. Generous size of glue: about the size of an eraser on a pencil. And we're going to put it over our right point, right up against the other eye. And again, hold that in place for about ten seconds. Make sure it's on there good and tight, so that we don't have any eyes coming off of our ladybugs later. And once you've held those down, you now have a very cute character of a ladybug."
