Materials Needed

To create your own bubble tea cup sling, you’ll need the following materials:

• Fabric (durable and washable, such as cotton or canvas)
• Scissors
• Sewing machine or needle and thread
• Measuring tape or ruler
• Pins
• Iron and ironing board
• Optional: Fabric paint, patches, or other decorations

Steps to Create Your Bubble Tea Cup Sling

1. Measuring and Cutting the Fabric

• Measure Your Cup
Measure the circumference and height of your bubble tea cup. Add about 1 inch to both measurements for seam allowances and ease.
• Cut the Fabric
Cut two rectangles of fabric based on your measurements. For example, if your cup’s circumference is 10 inches and height is 6 inches, cut two rectangles that are 11 inches wide and 7 inches high.
• Cut the Straps
Cut two strips of fabric for the straps. Each strip should be about 1.5 inches wide and 22 inches long (adjust the length based on your preferred sling length).

2. Preparing the Fabric

• Iron the Fabric
Iron your fabric pieces to remove any wrinkles and make them easier to work with.
• Fold and Press the Edges
Fold the edges of the fabric rectangles inward by 1/4 inch and press with an iron. This will help create neat seams.
