đ˝ Alien Glasses Holder
This weekâs make is one of the quirkiest, most joyful little characters to join my glassesâholder family â my Hand Crocheted Alien Glasses Holder. Heâs 22 cm tall (about 8.6 inches), soft, curious, and full of retro charm. Think Jetsonsâstyle alien, not the RidleyâScottâtype who wants to devour people. This little guy is friendly, wideâeyed, and absolutely here to help.
If youâre an alien lover, a sciâfi fan, a conspiracy theorist, or someone whoâs ever been described as âaway with the fairies,â this might be the glasses holder you didnât know you needed.
đ Who This Alien Is For
This alien is perfect for:
alien fans
retro sciâfi lovers
kids who love imaginative play
anyone who wears glasses and wants something fun + functional
people whoâve always felt a little different
Heâs the kind of character who sits quietly on your bedside table, holding your glasses and making you smile â even on the days when everything feels a bit âearth is hard today.â
đď¸đď¸đď¸ The Design Process (and Why He Has Three Eyes)
When I started designing him, I really wanted to give him just one eye â 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 heâs wearing glasses. It gives him that curious, friendly look â like heâs fascinated by everything you do.
đ Why You Need This Alien
If you ask yourself âWhere did I put my glasses?â fifty times a day, this alien is your solution. Heâll hold your glasses safely, proudly, and in full view â no more hunting under blankets, behind books, or in the pantry (yes, it happens).
Unlike flatâface glasses holders, this alien is threeâdimensional, expressive, and perfect for imaginary play. Kids love him. Adults love him. Heâs basically a tiny space companion who guards your eyewear and your mood.
And honestly, imagine seeing him after a long day â that friendly little face, those curious eyes. You canât not smile.
đ§ś For My Crocheters
If you want to make your own alien, the crochet pattern is available.
Heâs fun to customise â change the colours, adjust the antennae, make him look more retro or more modern. And because heâs a full character (not just a flat stand), heâs great for makers who love projects with personality.
đ Addressing Common Objections
âI donât want to wait for a custom order.â Great news â one finished alien is readyâmade and ready to ship.
âI donât know if Iâll actually use it.â If you wear glasses, you will use it. Every single day. If you donât wear glasses, he still makes an adorable dĂŠcor piece or imaginativeâplay character.
âIâm not sure itâs for me.â If you love quirky things⌠itâs for you. If you love sciâfi⌠itâs for you. If youâve ever felt like the odd one out⌠itâs definitely for you.
đ How Youâll Feel Owning Him
Youâll smile every time you see him
Youâll stop losing your glasses
Youâll add a bit of retro sciâfi charm to your space
Youâll have a handmade friend who feels uniquely you
Youâll enjoy a tiny reminder that being different is wonderful
This alien is soft, functional, nostalgic, and full of personality â a little space buddy who brings joy to your everyday routine.
Cheers,
Esma
