Steps to Making the Boba Cup Costume
- First, get the shower curtain and lay it flat. Bring the hula hoops to the desired length on your body and cut the curtain to match the length of how far the hula hoops are to each other. (You may need to cut the shower curtain in half to make sure you have enough surface area of curtain to wrap around the hula hoops.)
- Paint hula hoops to the desired color of boba tea you want to be. This color should match the color of your felt. Let dry. (Example: Green Tea/Green – Milk Tea/Light Brown).
- Then hot glue gun the shower curtain piece(s) around the hula hoops so then you have a boba tea cup shape.
- Cut four pieces of string to match the length of the diameter of the top hula hoop of your cup. Glue the pieces to leave a box in the middle to fit your head through. (See photo).
- Glue as many black balloons to the inside of your cup to mimic boba!
- Now get your felt and cut a hole in the middle, just enough to fit your head through. The felt will act as a ‘shirt’ to drape down your body.
- Done with the cup!
Steps to Making the Bubble Tea Straw Hat
- Get your styrofoam dome and paint it the same color as you did for the hula hoops. Let dry.
- Get anything tube shaped(like toilet paper rolls) and gather them together. Wrap paper around the tubes to form a straw-like structure. Wrap an end of a piece of paper to the end of the straw to make the straw have a poky side(to mimic a real boba tea straw). Decorate the straw anyway you like!
- Now, get your straw and hot glue gun to styrofoam dome.
- Attach string to hat(to keep the hat onto your head).
- Done with the whole costume!
