After needle-felting myself a Kermit the Frog the other day, I was so tickled, that I couldn’t wait to get started making more Muppets! I have another Kermit in progress, and I got a few of suggestions for needle-felted Piggies, Gonzos, and Swedish Chefs, but several of you asked for Beaker.
I need you guys to know, that I. Love. Beaker. There’s something about his loyalty to/constant fear of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew that I just find endearing. I found myself watching countless YouTube videos highlighting the misadventures of these two Muppets as they “Create the World of Tomorrow, Today.”
Naturally, I had to make myself a Beaker immediately.
I thought that if I ONLY made a Beaker, and NOT a Bunsen Honeydew, Beaker would have nothing to fear…
… but, almost instantly, he began to panic about everything!
For instance, when he was finally assembled and dressed, I showed him his reflection in the mirror. And?
HE.
FREAKED.
OUT.
When I took him outside to show him the pretty flowers in the garden, he thought he was having an allergy attack and started to hyper-ventilate. (See first image.) Is it Dr. Bunsen Honeydew I should blame for Beaker’s permanent case of PTSD? Or is that JUST who Beaker is? If Kermit can’t calm him down a little, I think I’m going to have to needle-felt some Xanax for my newest needle-feted Muppet friend.
These are too cute! Too bad you won’t me making a duplicate of each for your mother!
I’ll take them all—especially my favorites Grover and Elmo.
love your handy work, love you. mom

I love all your posts, the bread came out great. I love to see your felt projects – your creativity really shines and they look very professional.
Oh my gosh.
This.
This is just fabulous.
Love Beaker. Love the Muppets. But Beaker especially.
And your post–it made me smile. In the midst of grading 78 papers and preparing a lecture on the English Reformation’s importance in the writing of Pilgrim’s Progress, I smiled. At Beaker.
Thank you :]
I can’t tell you how amazing this is. I remember walking around meeping like him. So love this. I think i need to follow your blog. This is my first time here. Great job!
hahah!! This is AWESOME!! I was just telling someone earlier today that I loved the muppets. I had a muppet keyboard I loved to play when I was little, and I had a Miss Piggy big wheel in the 80s! lol
OH MY LORD this is the cutest thing I’ve seen all day. I love the Muppets!

This is AWESOME! Love it!
Ever so cute! That’s some delicate needle felting. Bet you laughed as you did this.
I know it’s been a few years since you made this, but I just came across him on pinterest. I love him! We are all a little muppets crazy around here these days, and I’d love to learn how to needle felt more! Thanks for sharing him!
I, too, love me some Beaker. Thank you for this entry… I needed this. Badly. B|
