MAKE KOBOLD EYES

I made the eyes using a similar but smaller version of the Moffmang eyes

Use these Tim Holtz 1.25" dimensional domes

I bought a cheaper version of those domes on amazon and they were not nearly as clear so definitely use the Tim Holtz brand.

Visor film here

See through black screen is stereo speaker cloth or fine black mesh fabric.

I used 15mm round cabochons like these and painted the back with gold acrylic but there are other options! The smaller ones shown are 10mm. A small issue is making sure the eye domes and pupils glue into the eye holes without looking crosseyed or wall eyed! Larger pupils help solve this but then your vision is more obscured. Using no pupils with the visor material still looks nice and gives good vision but i personally like the friendly frantic look of the pupils.

I cut a ring of acrylic to make the glued eyes more finished. One could use stiff paper , epoxy clay, etc. It will push the eye farther away from the lid so consider this when choosing a material.
