This is only a demonstration.  It's not instructions, per se, for attaching safety eyes. Use caution if you are considering this method.

The tools needed:  1) round nose pliers and 2) regular household pliers

I purchased my round nose pliers at a craft store. You can find these in jewelry tool sets as well. Round nose pliers can be used to stretch a very tight safety part without comprimising safety.  By pushing the part to the bottom of the nose of the pliers it will stretch it slightly.



I use the help of the regular household pliers to get the part down the nose far enough.



I let it sit for most of the day. Since these pliers have two noses you can do 2 eyes at a time.







Next time in Part II of "How I Fit Tight Safety Eyes for Dolls", I remove the part from the round nose using regular pliers and immediately attach it to my amigurumi.  Using a combination of regular pliers and my fingers this helps to force this stubborn part.
