Here's a list of crafting products I've used and would recommend + my thoughts about them. This is an ongoing and evolving list, as I try more products and find new favorites.

These are the safety eyes I currently use and really like! It comes with a bunch, and all 3 sizes look really cute. I find that these 4mm don't look too large compared to other brands or styles I've used.
You'll need glue to secure these!
I felt conflicted whether I liked the look of these, but some people said they liked them, so I figured I'd link them!
Some of them have varying pupil placements and sizes. So you might need to look through the bunch to find ones that are similar.
This listing comes with a lot of different sizes you can chose from! I recommend a size that's at least 20cm x 20cm so the pattern fits. I personally got the 30cm x 30cm.
If you want a pack with a greater variety of neutral colors for cat coats, check out the second link:
I really liked these for transferring my pattern, since it makes everything really easy. It's matte, so it works with laser or inkjet printers.
The adhesive can be a bit strong for wool blend felts (no problems with acrylic though!), so you might want to stick it to some other fabric a couple of times to make it a bit less sticky.
It comes with quite a bit of stuffing. The balled texture is nice, since it makes it easier to stuff into small felt pieces. It's like someone stripped the ends of q-tips, but it's polyester.
I thought this was a great beginner kit for needle felting + adding some needle felting details to the cats! There was a good range of coat colors, it came with safety eyes + an option add make it into a keychain.
A good glue option for felt. I liked the nozzle and how easy it was to squeeze, especially for smaller details.
Another good glue option for felt. I bought a different bottle style, and although the glue was good, I wasn't a fan of how hard it was to squeeze. So I'd recommend this "Always Ready Bottle" instead.
This is for content creation! I use this to hold my phone to take pictures or record videos and love it.
It has magsafe, is very adjustable and the joints can be tightened quite a bit. The arm isn't super long though, so something to be aware of.
I have also used this to hold my phone while I potato in bed watching videos, and can confirm it also works great for that.
This is helpful for late night crafting sessions, especially when I'm sewing or working on embroidery and I feel like I'm straining my eyes.
I also use this as an extra light when I'm taking photos of my cats :D I like that it has different color temperature settings.
Products I'd recommend from Michaels instead:
DMC Embroidery Floss! You can choose which color best matches your felt + it's ~$.079/floss compared to ~$4 on Amazon. And they often have sales/coupons.
I got my 3mm beads from Michaels: Black Round Glass Beads, 3mm by Bead Landings
You could also get the glues I listed above for cheaper at Michaels!
