Do you just insert the plasic eyes as you would for glass eyes??
Also, I'd like to see a picture of the whole bear!!!

Yep, Heather, just like glass eyes. Very easy..

plushkinbear

wow...
thank you guys, but be honest I like glass ones better.  :redface: Still, think that faux fur need plastic, mohair - glass eyes.
This bear will be Santa and I'll show him when I finish his dress. I "made" myself to make smiling bear!  :D
It's holiday coming...

DSCF4614.jpgeye03.jpgJust wanted to add some about plastic eyes I use.
I paint them, make eyelids and they look as great as glass eyes.
I buy them in Japan and their eyes have a loop so its easy to work with.http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfis … iceye.html

This is eyes of my latest faux fur bear with plastic eyes

Do I have to log off???
I never do it in my forums. Agree with Jane can-t wait to start reading... :dance:

Shantell, once I had the glue came out on an eyelid. I scratched but it become white. So painted it with the marker. But you have to be careful. if you do too much paint the shine of the oils or markers make your bear's eyes cry.

Julia.
I wonder what Shelli does... but I think she is just always PERFECTLY neat. :clap:

plushkinbear

Oh, yes, 2nd one.
There is a saying in Russian I wrote somewhere in posts before

I made few mini bears and found it great! Really! Sometimes, it take me a whole month to make teddy 12"!! But mini.. I made my last teddy Gosha just two evenings!! So great to see the results that soon.

Girls, thank you so much for posting "articles" on mini making. So interesting to read and educate myself. :clap:
