Build a Webcam Teddy Bear

Step 3 Find and remove the eye

The plastic eyes on this bear had stems that protrude through the fabric to the inside of the bear, and they were secured with a nylon ring. They can be found quite easily once you have the stuffing out of the head. I removed one eye by cutting a slit in the nylon ring, since we will not be reusing it.

I think some stuffed animals have the eyes glued directly to the fabric at the front of the head. If you have one of these you will have an additional step of making a hole in the fabric for the camera to look through.

Now that the eye is out, we can modify it so that the camera can look through it.
