It contains everything I could think of about safety eyes. And when I finally saved it I kept thinking more stupid, tiny things I could have added. And I didn't even get into safety noses, though they are largely the same.

Very cool, you may also want to check out at the hardware store in the fastener isle there are similar fasteners in metal
But I was wondering could eyes be formed on a bolt and use lock washer a safety nut with locktight glue?

You could probably do that, too. You'd have to be sure the material wont rust and there are no edges sharp enough to cut the fabric. It would probably be super secure.

Wow this is weird, you released this tutorial the day I randomly decided to buy some safety eyes and give them a go on the fox plushie I am making xD Mine came out great and it was very handy reading through this too. Thanks!

Awesome guide. Some lovely tips that should be useful in future.
As for suppliers of eyes, got a couple more worth mentioning:
Glass Eyes Online - US based, but pretty good at international shipping (I bought a plastic eye insertion tool from them, to deal with some eyes from China that were particularly difficult to insert), and have a magnificent selection of sizes and colours. I'm particularly drawn to their sparkle and iridescent eyes, which is what I'll be buying when I need to stock up on eyes again. They offer bulk discounts too.
Mohair Bear Making Supplies - UK based, decent selection (in particular their Bronze Pearl coloured eyes are beautiful). Most of my current stock came from this supplier. Very quick and reliable for UK folks. I also buy gloriously soft faux fur and polypellets from here.
