Fabric Paint Eyes on Dumbbell Eyes

The video below will give a brief tutorial on how to use fabric paint to create eyes on dumbbell eyes.  A few things to keep in mind:

• Use as little fabric paint as possible so that it dries smooth
• Use a fine point bodkin or other tool
• After the painted eyes have dried, coat the new eye with a small drop of UV resin to improve durability
• Paint your dumbbell eyes first and let them dry before tying your pattern

Give this a shot and I hope this helps improve your fly patterns and time at the vise!
