Make your own Holo eyes. (Simples)

[THURSOMAN]

Make a few eyes last night to pimp up some leadheads and flies and thought you might like to have a go yourselves.

Firstly here are the materials needed:
Holo tape (Bought from ebay for scaring the birds away ;D),
paper punch and a small marker.


It's all self expanitory so here's the photos:



Must find a little hole cut out for a better shaped pupil but this'll do.
Then a little dab of super glue to your lure etc and that's it.
Simples ;D

A leather punch is what you need. It comes with about 6 hole sizes on the head. I bought one from Lidles supermarket last year for £2.99, very useful.

Handy to know Phil mate very handy.
I must have a look.
Failing that I wonder if someone might punch a small hole for me if I send some of this tape to them for a template.

Just found a link to the tape I use

I know its £6 but think of how many eyes you can make with 30 metres of it! HAHAHAHA ;D ;D ;D ;D
I use it to put shiney underbodies in radgills lead heads etc.
Great stuff!

now then if you then put a blob of epoxy resin on each eye then you would have a 3d halo eye

[THURSOMAN]

I was building them up with the wifes nail varnish!
