Alright, squad—so Halloween’s creeping up faster than your Netflix watchlist, and you don’t have a costume yet. No stress. If you want to flex that Labubu doll vibe but have zero sewing skills or patience for a major DIY project, I got you. Here’s the ultimate no-sew, chill AF guide to pulling off the cutest Labubu-inspired look that’ll have all your friends shook.
What’s the Tea on Labubu?
If you’ve been living under a rock (or just haven’t peeped your Insta feed lately), Labubu dolls are the ultimate poppin’ collectible from the art toy world. These plushy little monsters with their big ears and mischievous teeth have gone viral for their adorable, sometimes spooky, and totally unique designs. So yeah, they’re kinda the unofficial mascots of Halloween 2025. And now—you can be one.
The No-Sew Game Plan
Step 1: Base Layer Goals
First up, hunt down a fuzzy sweatsuit, an oversized hoodie, or a onesie. Go full plush if you can — think pastel vibes for a cutesy look or classic soft whites and beiges for a more standard Labubu. Thrift stores, Amazon, or even your own closet are your best friends here. Comfort is key.
Step 2: The Tools (aka The Non-Tools)
Forget the needle and thread—that’s not our vibe today. Grab some fabric glue or, if you’re really in a rush (we’ve all been there), a pack of safety pins. They’re your MVPs for this last-minute mission. You’ll be sticking on some fun extras, so keep them close.
Step 3: It’s All in the Details (Ears & Face)
Labubus are all about those iconic ears and quirky faces.
- Ears: Cut out two large, slightly floppy ear shapes from felt or foam sheets (you can find these at any craft store). Use your fabric glue to stick them onto the hood of your sweatsuit or onto a simple headband.
- Face: For the eyes and signature toothy grin, you can use fabric markers to draw them directly onto a plain face mask or use more felt cutouts. No art degree needed—the slightly imperfect look is part of the charm.
Step 4: The Extras
We’re talking tiny wings, a little puffy tail, or even some small spikes if you’re going for a more “monster” look. Craft these quickly with more foam, and either glue them on or use safety pins if you want to remove them later. Easy on, easy off.
Follow these easy Makeup Do’s to Get That Plush Doll Glow
Now for the face. This is how you go from wearing a fuzzy outfit to becoming the Labubu.
Step 1: The Flawless Base
Start with a moisturizer and primer to get that skin smooth AF. Slap on a full-coverage foundation or your favorite BB cream—it’s all about that flawless, almost-plastic doll complexion. Conceal any dark circles, then set everything with a translucent powder to keep it matte.
Step 2: Doll Eyes, But Make Them Pop
Grab a white or nude eyeliner pencil and line your waterline. This is the ultimate hack for getting those bright, wide-open doll eyes. For shadow, go soft with pastel or neutral tones—think light pinks, peaches, or baby blues. Add a little shimmer to the inner corners of your eyes to catch the light.
Step 3: Fluttery Lashes
If you’re about that dramatic look, false lashes are your friend. Otherwise, just pack on a few coats of volumizing mascara to get your lashes long and full. You want eyes that say “cuddle me” but also “don’t mess with me.”
Step 4: The Blushed-Up Cheeks
Labubu dolls have that cute, rosy-cheeked look. Pick a cream blush in pink or peach, dab it on the apples of your cheeks, and blend upwards towards your temples. This gives you that fresh, bouncy glow.
Step 5: The Signature Teeth
Here’s the fun part. Use a white or black face paint pen to draw those iconic Labubu teeth on your cheeks, framing your mouth. Don’t worry about making them perfect—a slightly mischievous, hand-drawn look is the vibe.
Bonus: The Accessory Flex
Don’t forget the little details that take your costume to the next level!
- Clip a few actual Labubu keychains onto your belt loops or backpack.
- Carry a fuzzy backpack.
- Wear some colorful, chunky socks.
These small touches will boost your look from “last-minute” to “main character energy.”
Why This Slaps
No sewing means no stress, no major mistakes, and way faster results. This is perfect if you’re juggling life, homework, or just genuinely hate craft projects. Plus, you get to rep the hottest doll trend of 2025 with zero sweat.
So go on, glam up in your DIY Labubu look and own that Halloween party. No sew, no problem, all vibe.
