Aliens have landed and they are taking over our trash!!!

I made this cute space ship using those clear containers that come out of gum machines that usually hold junk. Well when we go to HEB, my son gets a buddy buck every week and uses the machine to get stickers for buddy points. Well I haven't been able to throw the containers away, but I didn't know what to do with them. One day I was looking at them and thought they would make the perfect dome for a spaceship. So I used the yarn in the picture, some embroidery floss and a pipe cleaner and came up with this...

And yes that is an itty bitty pompom alien. I think he needs eyes, LOL. I'm thinking of making some more for his Christmas tree, but we will see. Its low on my project list. It might not get made in time for Christmas.

I like this a lot and would like to make some for my boy, who have lots of little tiny toy the comes in those plastic containers. And he saves them all. Would you be able to post instructions for them? Thank you very much, Marilyn

I will try. But it will be after the holidays. Plus I have to find where I wrote them down.

I finally found where the pattern should have been and its not there. I have a horrible feeling its been thrown away. I'll keep looking.
