👽 Alien Glasses Holder

This week’s make is one of the quirkiest, most joyful little characters to join my glasses‑holder family — my Hand Crocheted Alien Glasses Holder. He’s 22 cm tall (about 8.6 inches), soft, curious, and full of retro charm. Think Jetsons‑style alien, not the Ridley‑Scott‑type who wants to devour people. This little guy is friendly, wide‑eyed, and absolutely here to help.

If you’re an alien lover, a sci‑fi fan, a conspiracy theorist, or someone who’s ever been described as “away with the fairies,” this might be the glasses holder you didn’t know you needed.

🌟 Who This Alien Is For

This alien is perfect for:

• alien fans

• retro sci‑fi lovers

• kids who love imaginative play

• anyone who wears glasses and wants something fun + functional

• people who’ve always felt a little different

He’s the kind of character who sits quietly on your bedside table, holding your glasses and making you smile — even on the days when everything feels a bit “earth is hard today.”

👁️👁️👁️ The Design Process (and Why He Has Three Eyes)

When I started designing him, I really wanted to give him just one eye — very classic alien. But then I thought… how would that look with glasses on? One eye was out.

Two eyes? Too normal. Too human. Not alien enough.

So naturally… three eyes! Perfectly balanced, wonderfully weird, and absolutely adorable when he’s wearing glasses. It gives him that curious, friendly look — like he’s fascinated by everything you do.

👓 Why You Need This Alien

If you ask yourself “Where did I put my glasses?” fifty times a day, this alien is your solution. He’ll hold your glasses safely, proudly, and in full view — no more hunting under blankets, behind books, or in the pantry (yes, it happens).

Unlike flat‑face glasses holders, this alien is three‑dimensional, expressive, and perfect for imaginary play. Kids love him. Adults love him. He’s basically a tiny space companion who guards your eyewear and your mood.

And honestly, imagine seeing him after a long day — that friendly little face, those curious eyes. You can’t not smile.

🧶 For My Crocheters

If you want to make your own alien, the crochet pattern is available.

He’s fun to customise — change the colours, adjust the antennae, make him look more retro or more modern. And because he’s a full character (not just a flat stand), he’s great for makers who love projects with personality.

🚀 Addressing Common Objections

“I don’t want to wait for a custom order.” Great news — one finished alien is ready‑made and ready to ship.

“I don’t know if I’ll actually use it.” If you wear glasses, you will use it. Every single day. If you don’t wear glasses, he still makes an adorable décor piece or imaginative‑play character.

“I’m not sure it’s for me.” If you love quirky things… it’s for you. If you love sci‑fi… it’s for you. If you’ve ever felt like the odd one out… it’s definitely for you.

💛 How You’ll Feel Owning Him

• You’ll smile every time you see him

• You’ll stop losing your glasses

• You’ll add a bit of retro sci‑fi charm to your space

• You’ll have a handmade friend who feels uniquely you

• You’ll enjoy a tiny reminder that being different is wonderful

This alien is soft, functional, nostalgic, and full of personality — a little space buddy who brings joy to your everyday routine.

Cheers,

Esma
