DIY Boba Tea + Boba-Rista Halloween Costume

Happy Halloween week friends!

This will be my last Halloween blog post for the year and I hope you all loved them as much as I did! Special thanks to my boyfriend Christian for being such a trooper and stepping in to be a part of these. If you've been following me for the past few years or so you know that I have a thing for food-themed costumes. Ya girl loves to eat so I guess that may be part of it, lol. This year I thought it'd be fun to create a costume inspired by my favorite drink... boba tea! 

If you're not familiar with boba tea, essentially it's a milk tea that comes in a variety of flavors (matcha and taro are my faves!) with little tapioca balls in them. It's always my favorite treat to get and always love trying new flavors. This Halloween costume is super easy and affordable to put together and would be great as a couple's costume or a group costume with multiple boba tea flavors! 

BOBA TEA COSTUME MATERIALS:

• Plain colored t-shirt dress (you can switch up the color depending on what flavor you want to be. I chose green to be a matcha flavor)
• Black stick-on felt
• Scissors
• Round object (I used a mug)
• Pencil
• Headband
• Empty paper towel roll
• Paint (whatever color you want your straw to be, I chose pink!)
• Hot glue
• Paintbrushes

HOW TO MAKE BOBA TEA COSTUME:

1. Cut your paper towel roll into your desired height for your straw. I ended up cutting about 2 inches off of mine. From there, paint the paper towel roll in your desired straw color and set aside to dry.
2. While your "straw" is drying, grab your stick on felt, pencil, and mug. Use the mug as a guide to trace out about 8 circles with your pencil. From there, cut out the circles.
3. Once the circles are cut out, arrange them on the bottom of your t-shirt dress and stick them on. 
4. Once your "straw" has fully dried, cut a 1/4 inch slit on the bottom of the straw, one on each side across from the other. This will help it stay more secure on your headband.
5. Once the slits have been cut, glue the straw onto your headband with hot glue and your costume is complete! 

BOBA-RISTA COSTUME MATERIALS:

• Black t-shirt
• Black apron
• Iron-on letters

HOW TO MAKE BOBA-RISTA COSTUME:

1. Spell out the desired phrase on your apron. I went with "I Love Boba" but you can get creative with it!
2. Iron on your letters, and that's it! Complete the look with a black t-shirt and jeans.

If you've tried boba tea before let me know what your favorite flavor is down below! I hope you all enjoyed this post and have a safe and fun Halloween! Thank you all for reading!
