We stock the four main craft eye types so you can jump to the right one for your project.
Safety eyes — plastic eyes with a locking washer, designed to sit securely inside crochet and stuffed toys
Doll eyes — realistic-looking eyes for doll makers and character work
Googly eyes — the classic wobbly plastic eyes for kids' craft, classroom projects and school fair activities
Teddy bear eyes — glass and plastic eyes designed specifically for traditional bear-making
Choosing the Right Craft Eyes for Your Project
The right craft eye depends on what you're making. For amigurumi and crochet toys, safety eyes are the standard — they push through the crocheted fabric and lock in place with a washer on the back. For soft toys and stuffed animals, safety eyes or teddy bear eyes work beautifully depending on the finish you're after.
Doll makers reach for doll eyes — larger, more detailed, and often glass or resin for a realistic look. And for kids' craft, googly eyes are the workhorse: cheap, safe (in bulk), and endlessly versatile for classroom projects, holiday activities and school fairs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Craft Eyes for Toy-Making & DIY Projects
Do you offer wholesale packs of toy eyes and noses?
Yes, we offer bulk and wholesale packs of toy-making accessories. Visit our wholesale page to find out more.
Can the glasses fit on stuffed animals and dolls?
Yes, our toy glasses are sized to fit standard plush toys, teddy bears, and handmade dolls.
How are the eyes and noses attached?
Many come with safety washers or can be glued in place depending on your project’s needs.
Are these items safe for children’s toys?
Most of our eyes and noses contain small parts, these may cause a choking risk for small children and we recommend they are installed correctly and used with supervision.
What are safety eyes and how do they work?
Safety eyes are plastic eyes with a shank and a locking washer. The shank pushes through the crocheted or stuffed fabric, and the washer locks the eye in place from behind so it can't come loose.
Are craft eyes safe for children's toys?
Safety eyes and teddy bear eyes are designed for children's toys and are locked in with washers. Googly eyes are safe for older kids' craft but should be supervised with very young children as they're small parts.
What size craft eyes should I use for an amigurumi bear?
9–12mm safety eyes are the most common size for standard-scale amigurumi. Go smaller for miniatures, larger for over-scale plush.
Where can I buy craft eyes in Australia?
Arbee Craft stocks the full range online with fast Australian dispatch, and Ribtex wholesale is available for trade and educator buyers.

About Arbee Craft
The Arbee Business began in 1902. The owner Mr. R.B.Stevens, a leather merchant, started the business to sell his leather items.
The original Arbee business, shop and factory, was in Swanston Street, Melbourne.
By the 1930s Arbee had expanded to make the famous Arbee moccasins. These became well known as they had durable cowhide on the outside and a layer of lambswool on the inside. Arbee made the moccasins for many years and the kits were very popular in the 1960s and 1970s. During this time Arbee diversified with some other products that were popular e.g. cane items.
