Eyes for My Mini Babies

What I did use just to see if it would work was Then I sprinkled the flock until head was covered left it to the next day then very gently removed the excess. Now what I did not think about was that silicone is static and draws any old mess onto it. So when I had done the doll was covered! (Bath time). So I thought I would try wrapping them in cling film. This sort of worked but when I removed the wrap any flock floating around still clung to the baby (bath time).  The Locktite 60 second glue looks to have worked, only time and play will tell.  After their ba...
