Tips for the Scooter-Riding Alien
Crochet the scooter base first and keep it firm so the alien sits stably on top. Buttons make excellent miniature wheels — stitch them on tightly with doubled thread. Pose the alien's arms forward toward the handlebars as you sew them, and secure the keychain ring through the sturdiest part of the scooter body.
