Eye to Eye

I had an epic fail today. Each year the group of us that used to walk in MK do a xmas challenge and this years was to create a sock puppet from a black sock provided. The deadline is tomorrow, but I wanted to get the carpets done and the house back together before starting. I had all the items I needed including these eyes as I was doing a 'cute cat'. I was following a video on Youtube and started with the mouth, but the PVA glue just wasn't sticking, So I then tried UHU, then double sided tape, then I borrowed some fabric glue from a friend and none of them worked. So for the first time I'm not submitting an entry for the challenge as by now the sock was rather horribly marked with glue residue, but I look forward to seeing what the others have achieved (and what glue they used!).
