Bruce sorry it took so long to get back to you but the way I do those eyes is I use Lacquer and several different size finish nails and the trick is to just dip the head in the jar enough to caver the head then kind of roll the head between you finger and thump the paint will cover the nail head evenly and kind of form a round bubble and when you apply to your popper touch just the paint don't let the nail head touch the bug. Be sure the paint is dry before put the next color on it want take long. and good luck

Hi John, how do you paint on the the eyes? Have you posted the method? Just curious, especially if it's easier than gluing the eyes.
