Painting lead eyes

Recommended Posts

One problem of painting lead eyes is holding them to apply the paint, and then how to hold them while they dry.

Use a woman's bobby pin (they come in different sizes) to hold the eyes. Just slip the middle of the eye in one of the wavey notches of the pin. Paint the eyes, then stick the end of the bobby pin into a piece of styrofoam to dry.
