In My Tool Box: Googly Eyes

I appreciate your visit today!

My craft tool box has eyes. Googly eyes.

These googly eyes are some of the fun things I have in there. I got them at the dollar store. They're made of plastic, look like a flattened snow globe, and the pupil moves around when you shake it.

Below are some of the ways I've incorporated them in my crafts:

Are you familiar with bread tags? They're used to seal commercially-produced bags of bread. Instead of throwing it away, I turned it from blah to TADA! by giving it a face. I used googly eyes (attached with glue) and a permanent marker to draw the mouth.

I now use it to seal small packages like gift bags and treat sacks...TADA!

This next idea is inspired by the Commes De Garcons Play line, specifically its logo -- a heart with eyes.

I made my version of the logo with card stock and googly eyes. I used it to embellish this gift...TADA!

And finally, I made a greeting card using a blank card, honeycomb paper, colored card stock, glue, paint, and googly eyes.

A butterfly graces the cover. And when you open it...

There's a dragonfly inside...TADA!

It's a card that's perfect for a child's birthday or to say "Good Job" after they successfully complete a recital, big game, or Spelling Bee.

Without a doubt, googly eyes instantly transforms "blah to TADA!"

  1. Aw, how utterly cute! I especially like the simplicity of the bread tag with the googly eyes. I don't have any googly eyes in my stash, but I'll be on the lookout for them!
