    Hi Sharon glad you like the monkeys :) Yes I use felt behind the eyes because I use safety eyes and I like the fact I can colour coordinate it x

    Thanks for getting back to me Shelley I am going to put felt on mine too it looks good. What are safety eyes? I have little sew on googly eyes from Hobbycraft. I tried adhesive ones before but did not get on with them
