What You Need To Make Halloween Eyeballs

You’ll only need a handful of crafting supplies to make our terrifying stone eyeballs!

  • selection of pebbles – try to find pale ones so that they look good for the whites of the eye!
  • Sharpie permanent markers – in a selection of colours
  • Jar – any empty glass jar you can pack with your stone Halloween eyeballs ready to display.

Halloween Crafting Tip!

We always use Sharpie markers for stone and pebble painting. They’re smooth to use and the colours hold really well. They’re much easier to use for detailed designs than paint.

They are permanent though so be sure to cover any surfaces that you don’t want marking!
