- :･ﾟ✧ Hello everybody! In this tutorial I will show you a couple of ways to paint the iris and create the cornea for our doll eyes. The painting stage is my favourite in the creation of custom eyes. I hope you will enjoy this and learn a thing or two. ✧ ' : .

Just an update that since so many of you asked for it, SproutyDoll added a DIY kit section on her store where you can buy molds, bases, deco kits and much more to make your own custom eyes :) Here is the link sproutydoll.com
Nicolle's Dreams I love your videos
I love your videos
Nicolle's Dreams plz tell me where to get those dolls that you can put eyes in
Sad to say this, but Sproutydoll no longer has DIY eye kits or molds. The pages go 404 when you click on the links.
Nicolle's Dreams do u have any "cheaper" less money usage way of doing this??
Me during this video: ...but these look terrible?
Me once she puts them in the doll: * gasp * magic
#whydididoubther #queen
Never doubt her. Lesson learned.
I was in the same boat. Always try on before you conclude #don'tdoubt #neverdoubt
Same haha
Yeess same. The doll she shows in the ending are beautiful tho.
+knightsintodreams lol same ESPECIALLY the ones at the end like omg /(0O0)\
I use a prosthetic eye and I'd love to have a prosthetic as cute as this doll eyes
that would look so good!
ink!! prosthetic eyes are laaamethey are just made to be "esthetic" in the same color as your natural eye but is boring after a while, is not like a prosthetic leg that help you to walk again, an eye is just to "make you look normal"
i would totally PAY for a doll eye like those for me
Maybe ask your doctor if something like this can be done? ^^
It probably has to have a certain material but I'd say go for it :)
i think you should go for it!
I like you
Thank you so much for this! I really believe the thing that makes BJDs so special isn't the actual ball joints but the special eyes. They really make the dolls come alive. The eyes tell the story of the doll. They mirror the personality of the doll and make it become a real entity with history, emotion, personality. For someone who wants their dolls to be truly unique, eye making is a must in my opinion!
I am happy to hear that you've enjoyed this :D And yes eyes are so important!
I am pretty well convinced any eye once it's in the dolls head will look great, gives me some courage for my dolls
Awesome sparkly eyes, truly awesome!!! I like to see how crazy you went with them, when seeing them on the dolls face they make so much sense!
you can also use clear builder gel (for gel nails) for the lenses. Still needs UV to cure, but I've found that it's cheaper ounce for ounce than Magic-glos.
Before she put them in the doll I was like "I mean they look okay" and after I was like "THAT LOOKS AMAZING"
They looked weird at first without the eyes in the dolls, they look sooo cool at the end
Wow she is so polite! I love how she takes so much time to create these wonderful tutorials for us and how she always asks how we are doing every video. Love you work and your kind soul! You have really helped and inspired me and others in the doll custom community! :D
Those blue eyes that you put in the doll at the end were gorgeous! Definitely my favorite, but all of them were dazzling!
+Lov Jinxx Thank you! :D
can you make a snow elf doll with the snowflake eyes
snazzy sarah OOOH GOOD IDEA
snazzy sarah
1) really good idea

I'M MAKIN A DOLL FOR MY DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY AND I LOVE THIS TUTORIAL. I'M DEFINITELY GONNA USE THIS TUTORIAL TO MAKE THE DOLL'S EYES. MY LIL MONSTER WILL LOVE THIS!
I like the blue ones she shows in the doll at the end of the video! They are so pretty!
Me too
_Godddd, I want to create my own dolls _*_so_*_ badly, but I'd _*_never_*_ be able to. For one thing, I don't have the artistic talent, and for another, I don't have the money to buy the tools and resources necessary...I love these videos, but watching them is always so bittersweet. :(_
Aρняσɗιтє'ѕ ღ Ɗιαяу Don't put yourself down! Just mix some passion, effort and practice and you'll be making dolls in no time!
Aρняσɗιтє'ѕ ლ Ɗιαяу you're making an excuse when you actually CAN. You can do whatever you want but you need to work for it
Aρняσɗιтє'ѕ ლ Ɗιαяу Practice, even if you don't have the artistic talent who said it has to look good? Making dolls is not about it looking pretty and cute, it's about the effort and love you put into it. Like you're not going to have children and neglect them because they're not what you wanted them to look like. The only real advice I can give you is to stop making excuses and start making successes. Work for money and then maybe you can start making dolls. These people didn't start making beautiful dolls out of thin air, they've worked their asses off just to do the face.
Relatable...
Talent is important but it's not everything. Practice a lot to get better. The money is definitely a road block though.
These look SO amazing!
I haven't got any anime dolls yet, but I have my eye on a couple that I'd love to try painting, and now I'm definitely going to be making my own eyes for them too!
Thanks! :)
+GeekyDollGirl98 That is awesome! :D
+Nicolle's Dreams how do you do this is so awesome
Nicolle's Dreams Can you use clear nail polish for the cornea? Beautiful eyes, by the way!
Благодарю вас !!! Красивые и необычные глазки получились!!! Мне это было очень интересно!!!🌸🌺🌸
the eyes look almost creepy by themselves until you place them in the doll, then they are beautiful!? Magic 😊

I cannot wait for her and to make all these wonderful things for her. Thank you again for inspiring me, and so many others to try something artistically new. Love your videos 😍

I wasn't so sure about how those doll eyes looked until the end where you were showing them in a doll's head. I can't beleive how fast they went from looking over the top and gaudy to looking really good XD

I'm actually afraid of dolls (it's a long story), but I love your videos! They're so entertaining.
how can you watch doll videos when you are afraid of
dolls?
+Lillimarilli 01 I just stumbled across Andrea's videos one day, and I found them fascinating. It helps that her dolls don't look scary. Plus, they only scare me a little bit.
Great job! The eyes look really cool and I like the idea of using the stickers and gems also. ♡♡♡
oh my goodness nicolle's voice is so nice!
+Enragement Child (garbage) awwh thanks!!!
So cute!! I cant wait to get my doll and make her cat eyes!
wow they are beautiful i know i would have a hard time making them but to watch it would help me if i do start making things like this . thank you very much for sharing this with us .
You are my new favorite TH-cam channel! I'm have been binge watching your videos for hours! I'm so excited to start customizing dolls now thanks to you!
