As someone who’s been scrolling through TikTok for years, I first heard about Pop Mart’s blind boxes back in 2024. Honestly, I wasn’t impressed! The marketing tactic of hyping up rare “hidden” figures, inflating the value of a cheap doll to thousands of dollars—doesn’t that just scream “scam”? But I clearly underestimated the power of capitalism. Ever since Korean and Thai celebrities started flaunting Labubu, it’s taken the world by storm.

Labubu is everywhere on TikTok! Out of nowhere, anything Labubu-related is flying off the shelves. The craze in China’s factories for producing Labubu merch is as wild as the mask-making frenzy during COVID-19. I didn’t think much of it until I saw my sister-in-law, who’s nearly 50, with a Labubu dangling from her bag. I was floored! I asked her, “Was that expensive?” She just smiled mysteriously…I was stunned. If that thing costs $100, I’m begging you—please, don’t buy it! Go for a dupe instead!
Not only did I find a dupe, but I upgraded it with a fabulous twist: a Labubu phone holder!

It’s super easy to make. First, punch two holes in the phone holder.

You could use glue, but I wanted to keep the Labubu intact. Glue leaves sticky residue when you remove the holder, which isn’t ideal. Instead, sewing with a needle ensures durability, and you can simply snip it off later while keeping the Labubu pristine. Add a colorful strap and some Labubu accessories to match, and voilà!

Check out the final result: a DIY Labubu phone holder! In today’s tech-driven world, a phone is all you need, and this Labubu phone holder replaces your crossbody bag—perfect for casual outings. And the price? Just $39.95! It’s a dream come true for students on a budget.So, what do you think of this Labubu phone holder? Let us know!
