Boba Tea Plush Handmade Crochet Bubble Tea Cup With Loose Pearls

This boba tea plush is a crochet bubble tea cup about 18 cm tall, with a straw on top and a handful of small crochet pearls that lift out of the body. It sits on a desk or a shelf without tipping. Teenagers and students buy it most often, usually in the colour of the drink they actually order.

How each boba tea plush is made

1. Choose the drink. Tell us the drink colour, from milk tea beige to taro purple or matcha green.
2. Cup and lid. The cup is crocheted in the round with a firm base so it stands, then the lid is worked separately.
3. Straw and pearls. A straw is crocheted and sewn through the lid, and six small pearls are made loose.
4. Face. A simple embroidered face is added to the cup if you want one.

Why crochet food sits well on a desk

A cup shape is one of the few amigurumi forms that stands by itself with no weight added. On a boba tea plush the base is worked flat and firm, the body narrows slightly at the top, and the filling is packed to keep the walls upright. That is what lets it hold a straw without leaning.

Cotton gives the matte, slightly chalky surface that reads as a paper cup rather than a toy. It also takes bright colours well, which matters for taro and matcha shades. If you want the whole set, a dumpling or a sushi piece from the same range sits beside it at a similar scale. Our new arrivals page shows what is current.

Boba tea plush specification

Made to order and shipped worldwide

Nothing is made in advance, so please allow 5-10 working days of making time in Hanoi before the parcel is posted, then the delivery time below. Every parcel is tracked, and the full terms are set out in our shipping information.

Care

Hand wash in cool water with a mild soap. Press the water out with a towel, reshape the piece while it is damp and leave it to air dry away from direct sunlight. Cotton keeps its shape well when it is treated this way. Longer notes are in our amigurumi care guide.

Questions people ask

Are the pearls in the boba tea plush removable?

Yes. Six crochet pearls lift out through the top. If you would rather they stayed fixed, we can sew them in at no extra cost.

Which drink colours can I have?

Milk tea, taro, matcha, strawberry and brown sugar are the usual ones. Send a photo of a drink and we will match it as closely as the yarn allows.

Does it stand on its own?

It does. The base is flat and firmly filled, so it stays upright on a desk, a shelf or a windowsill.

Can I order it with a different face?

Yes. Message us on Facebook Messenger and describe the expression you want.
