Oh my gosh!! That is so cute!!! Is that a kit from Connecting Threads? I think I recognize the fabric as being theirs. I think you should just do a small French knot with black embroidery floss for the eyes. You could try it on one and see if you like it. If not, it can easily be pulled out..

They're really cute, but I think I would make a little black french knot for their eyes...the poor little guys will be going around in the dark otherwise! Well guess I'm not the only one with that idea, someone can type faster than me though :)

I am thinking French knots, if I add them. Yes it is the kit from Connecting Threads. Just FYI...the fabric feels wonderful, looks wonderful, but "sheds threads" like no fabric I have ever used. Don't get me wrong, I would use it again, but I would not pre-cut everything and would be more careful handling it...
