    I think the insomniac bear would look fantastic (if not a bit quirky!) with the red and black zombie eyes!

    I think batty bat needs glow in the dark orange eyes to help him see at night, and heather hippo would look nice with glow in the dark pink eyes as every girl needs a touch of pink

    Hi Pauline – I would put sleepy eyes on Diggles the dragon, make him cute, and love the cat eyes on Kitty Kate of course. Think I need to buy some and try different combinations for a change.

    I recently sewed Timmy the T-Rex and glow in the dark neon green oval pupil eyes would have been stunning and even more fun for the actual owner !
    thank you for sharing Suncatcher Craft eyes with us, I looked for eyes for a long time and only found some basic classical ones, now I have such a huge choice its amazing !

    I think next time I make Sandy Seagull I will use the shimmer pale gold eyes. Stunning!

    Your Punju Peacock would also look amazing with one of the shimmer range – I love the shimmer rose!

    I believe baby Iguana would look great with 18mm Sleepy Lime eyes and lizards often have their eyes half closed. I have used different coloured eyes on some of my knitting – have posted photos to your website.

    I would love to use either the blue or the pink eyes on the dolphin or the sea turtle with some bright colored fabric. I think that would be awesome!

    I want to try the green cat eyes in Gertie the Gecko, but I think all the Suncatcher eyes can be used with at least one of the Funky Friends animals to give them even more cuteness than they already have.

    I would love to try a metallic eye on puppy dog Pete. Maybe the copper colour ones.

    What a fab giveaway! I think the shimmer eye catcher eyes would look great with the sugar plum fairy! Of course I would need all the eye catcher colours available to co-ordinate them with corresponding fabric! (Slight OCD) Lol ;), I have the sugar plum pattern, larry the lion and calico bear so would love to add to my expanding and slightly additive collection! And the eye catchers would add β€œshimmer”!!! Love them all xxxx

    I think the shimmer lavender eyes would be beautiful on the unicorn pattern in white fabric with purple metallic mane/tail/horn. πŸ™‚

    I love toy eyes but have real trouble locating anything but cheap basics in brown or black anywhere near me. Online suppliers like Suncatcher eyes are such an amazing resource! And they go so perfectly with the cuteness of the funky friends.

    I think any suncatcher eyes would look cool on the bulldogs

    Purple sleepy eyes with Izzy Insomniac bear. How I feel most of the time. πŸ™‚

    Oh wow, what a great range of amazing eyes! I always have so much trouble doing eyes, my French knots are always wonky and my embroidery is terrible.

    I would make a Halloween mobile with lots of batty bats and boo the ghosts all with glow in the dark eyes – it would be so cool to have different coloured glow eyes for all the bats πŸ™‚

    I’d love to make Kitty Kate with the cat eyes, it would finish her off perfectly.
