If you're looking for a pre-dyed fleece that's not as expensive or hard to get as Nyla fleece, then anti-pill fleece is the way to go. Anti-pill is better than Polar fleece (another readily available fleece).  Polar fleece doesn't age well in my opinion.

If you want the same quality fleece that the Muppets use, but don't have the space/time/ability to dye your fabric, try these awesome pre-dyed Nyla fleece options!

Flexible enough to cut and bend, but sturdy enough for puppet performance.  Plus, use the heat shrink tubing to make it even sturdier and look more professional!

Forget spray paint!  I use this size wear-resistant tubing around the welding wire for a polished look that will last.

This is a great variety pack if you want a collection of different eye sizes.  You'll have to sand down the ornament handing notch, but otherwise, these are ready for spray painting!

I love making pupils out of electrical tape.  I put the tape on some old sticker paper than then punch out the pupil with a hole punch.  Looks amazing!
