I use both! It’s whatever I’m in the mood for, if I don’t have safety eyes near me I’ll just use some black yarn and freehand eyes/mouth and if I don’t have some black yarn near me I’ll put in some safety eyes! Whatever’s most convenient, unless I have a specific plan

Not mine but I just came across it and it’s the way I was talking about it shows the eye process at least. ⚘amigurumicik on Instagram: "#youtube #pattern #handmade #amigurumi #amigurumi#amigurumidoll #knitdoll #crochet #toys#baby"

Um, question,
I read the entire thread and I don’t understand what you’re responding to.

Oh did I respond to the wrong post? I was looking for the one that said people wouldnt share how to do faces. 
My bad

No, it’s the right post.
I “think” you’re trying to post a link to show us something?
But the link looks like a bunch of hashtags.

If you click it, it takes you to the video!
Thank you Dovetail!
It only shows the hastag as that’s how Instagram does links its weird.

i just use the ones from my local craft store since i’m in college (and i just started crocheting two months ago). if i don’t use the safety eyes, i’ll just make a small magic circle or just attempt to stitch an eye in thread. but safety eyes are a lot more convenient

Oh, I didn’t realize insta links do that, sorry I would have tried to get something less weird looking.

I just learned about this tool. I havent tried it yet but watched it used and it put the eyes on like they were butter. 
The one below is from Etsy but I would think Amazon may have them too.

Here are the details from the Etsy Ad. I hope this helps! I cannot wait to get one myself. I think there is two sizes…small and large. For the different size eyes and noses.
