Awesome! I just ordered some resin from Amazon, and was going to try this myself. So glad to know that it works!Do you use flexible molds, or hard plastic? I was watching some youtube videos on charm making and they mostly seemed to use paint pallet circles.

If you want to make truly realistic eyes, I'd recommend buying the video https://www.stanwinstonschool.com/videos/making-a-monster-eye

I haven't tried that method myself, since it's outside of my price range at the moment.
Another method which I've seen is to print off the iris, glue it on ping pong balls, add red yarn, and coat it all with clear nail polish.
Another thing that could be done is to cast eyes using clear resin to be hollow and then paint them from the inside. Or have white eyes that you paint and then put in a mold full of clear resin.
As for me, my current method is using ping pong balls, a compass, colored pencils, and coating with mod podge.

here is where i found some good instruction that got me started. super, super easy and fun...

HI, here is a way to make like half ping pong ball eyes out of PVC pipe. I usually cover mine in cloth, but you could use white PVC pipe as well.

Your videos are very easy to understand! Excellent tutorial.

Brilliant! Bravo! What more can I say.

I imagine you could also make oval eyes or maybe even some other shapes using the same theory and method.
