We all love those bathroom chain eyes for our flies well here something you can do with any kind of bead that can be strung. Now I use classical guitar treble strings I have 2 guitars that use them so I have a few lying around If you don't play guitar you can buy cheap sets for $5 the treble strings are .040, .032, .028 inches respectively. You can also get cheap nasty black strings that might create a nice pupil effect but I won't use those strings. Now if you want to use mono you will need to get up to 20lb test for the smallest diameter and mono is not as stiff as guitar string (which also makes awe some weed guards if you go for that sorta thing) String two same sized and coloured beads on Light one end You can let the bead just drop into place or you can push it a bit depending on the effect you want. Cut off and light the other end And here you have custom made eyes. A myriad of possibilities

Cool idea! That's what you were working on when I stopped by eh?
So far I've just been using bead chain but I'll have to give that a try.
