Black Safety Eyes – 5 mm (Small)

Finding the perfect eye size for small projects can be tricky, but the 5 mm Black Safety Eyes are often the perfect choice. Slightly larger than the miniature 4 mm, they offer just enough extra presence to give a distinct expression without overwhelming small faces.

These eyes are ideal for amigurumi keychains, small dolls, or detailed animals crocheted with fine cotton yarn. They provide a deep, glossy black finish that brings a professional and lively look to your handmade creations.

Why choose the 5 mm size:

• Versatile for Small Toys: Perfect for projects where 6 mm feels too big and 4 mm feels too small.

• High Quality: Made from smooth polystyrene that resists scratching and stays shiny.

• Certified Safety: Tested to EN71-3 standards, ensuring they are free from harmful substances.

• Secure Fit: Includes washers made from polyethylene that snap firmly onto the stems.

Safety & Mounting Guidelines:

• Secure Attachment: Yarn naturally stretches and loosens over time. To ensure your handmade toy meets the same safety standards as store-bought items, a secure mounting process is vital.

• Melting Technique: For maximum security, we recommend melting the tip of the safety eye stem flat after attaching the washer. This creates a permanent "rivet" that is wider than the washer hole, preventing the eye from pulling through even if the stitches expand.

• Creator Responsibility: Creating toys for children under three carries great responsibility. Ensure eyes are solidly affixed and inspect your projects regularly to maintain safety as time passes.
