I make most of my eyes from a variety of materials. Plastic spoons, ping pong balls, fishing floats, rigid flat plastic, etc. Get creative and you'll be surprised at the things you can use for eyes.

The correct address for Puppet Planet is www.puppet-planet.com  If you leave out the dash you get a "sells" page for an expired domain. Smiley

If you're looking for doll eyes, we buy ours from Darice (www.darice.com).  You have to have a business tax ID to buy from them wholesale. 

I also wholeheartedly endorse Jomama's suggestions.  We use a ton of plastic spoons, marbles, ping pong balls, buttons, and the like.  The important thing to remember is to use something shiny; the glint in the puppet's eye gives the illusion of life.  Have fun!

I buy all my eyes from CR's Craft (crscraft.com ) as they have excellent prices and they are fast at shipping your order.
They also have the "doll joints" shown in the dvd.
Hope this helps someone.
