Anyone have any suggestions on developing magic items for warlocks? Are there guidelines for using invocations in enchantments?

Take a look at the Warlock Information Compilation for starters and see what it'll answer for you. There are some items that change/add on to Eldritch Blast, but few that do anything with invocations. The Codex Advocare costs 20k and grants a least invocation, which might give you an idea of how WotC thinks items for invocations should be handled.

At level 12, the Warlock can replicate any spell to make whatever magic item he has the feats for.
So, what do I suggest? Make all of them. Warlocks are second to Artificers (Maybe tied or third to Chameleons) in diversity of magical item crating.
Wands of utility spells.
Scrolls of high level Divine magic.
Wondrous Items.
Craft Wondrous Architecture, just 'cause you can (Stronghold Builders Guide).
You have no limits outside of your UMD checks, so keep that pumped up.

One of my items:
Only one of these black orbs is known to exist, a gift from Queen Aneh-tet to a captain of her guard, it can replace a user’s lost eye. Upon being pressed into an empty eye socket it allows the user to see normally. In addition, the user may cast the Warlock invocations Creeping Watcher and Dreadful Eye each once per day. When the Warlock Eye is implanted it fuses to the skull of the user after one round. Once this has happened, only the death of the user will allow it to be removed.
Prerequisites: Creeping Watcher, Dreadful Eye, Craft Wondrous Items Caster Level: Price:
Creeping Watcher is a lesser invocation, Dreadful Eyes is a Dark Invocation. So, I am not one for math. How much does this cost? What is the Caster Level?

Invocations list their caster level in the detailed descriptions, however I'm not familiar with either of those invocations. You'd use the caster level of a spell when figuring a price. I believe the caster level of the item is based upon the highest level spell that's used.
However there are no rules (that I know of) for using Invocations to directly create a magical item. I'd guess if a DM was generous, you consider the invocation a spell of it's comparative level, and then You'd Use Rules Described Here.
I do know a Warlock can create magical items based off simulating spells, so perhaps find the spell the invocation most closely resembles and use those instead?

As a warlock, you should have lots of ranks in UMD. When you hit 12th level and get Deceive Item you should be able to make whatever you want.

I am making some home-brew invocations and items based on them. Cannot find my DMG and the item creation rules always confused me...
