Craftzine.com blog: Needle-Felted Yip Yip Alien

Needle-Felted Yip Yip Alien

Craftster user Krissykat made herself a funny little Yip-Yip alien toy! He's completely needle-felted, with yarn-wrapped pipecleaner antennae. For those of you unfamiliar with (or too young to remember) the Yip-Yip aliens, they were pretty much the funniest Muppets to ever grace Sesame Street (see YouTube clip below). Link.

Big Ups to Krissykat!!!!

Oh my god, thank you sooooo much for that hysterical trip down memory lane. I'm sitting here at work just peeing my pants laughing!
