DIY Recycled Googly Eyes

Crafters enjoy giving new life to old things! So, lets recycle some old medicine wrapper caps into fun googly eyes.

I know, it's nothing big but googly eyes are very useful for a number of craft projects, especially for those who love to craft toys and plushies.

Follow this ible and find out how easily you can make store-bought-like googly/ wobbly eyes in no time!

To make these googly eyes you'll need:

1. Medicine wrappers,
2. Scissors,
3. Thick paper- black and white,
4. Pencil,
5. Glue.

Make sure not to pop the plastic cap of the medicine wrapper. Try to take off the foil paper nicely.

Cut out the round plastic cap with scissors.

You will need 2 of these for making a pair of eyes.

Place the plastic cap on a thick white paper and trace around its edge with a pencil. Cut 2 circles out of white thick paper for the base (sclera).

Cut 4 circles out of black thick paper for the Iris. Glue 2 black circles together to make it thicker., in case you don't have thicker black paper.

Carefully apply a thin layer of white glue around the white base.

Place the iris right in the center of the base (sclera/ white round piece) making sure it doesn't touch the glue.

Place the plastic cap on the white base, making sure the edge is placed on the thin layer of white glue. Allow the glue to dry.

These recycled googly eyes can be really handy for so many fun crafts. Enjoy!
