Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓Safety eyes are used to make plushies or stuffed animals safer for small children. The way they are sewn onto the stuffed animal/plushy makes the eyes more secure and less likely to fall off.
Safety eyes are easy to find at a local sewing or craft store or online. They are also fairly easy to install. If the safety eye of your favorite stuffed animal, soft toy, or plushy comes off, follow this step-by-step guide.
This repair was done on a small unicorn plushy but it can be applied to any type of soft toy or stuffed animal that uses safety eyes. Very basic sewing skills are needed to accomplish this repair.

When the eye is in place put the backer on the eye from the inside of the plushie.
-
Press very hard until the eye and the back click together.

-
Sew the seam back up using a simple stitch.

Begin the stitches from the inside out so they are not visible, then fasten off the thread at the end of the seam.

Repeat the previous step all around the eye until it looks seamless.
