What is Boba Milk Tea?

Boba milk tea, also known as bubble tea, is a sweet and refreshing drink made with black tea, milk, sugar, and chewy tapioca pearls.

The tapioca pearls are made from cassava root and are cooked until they are soft and chewy.

The pearls are then added to the milk tea and are usually served with a wide straw so that they can be sucked up through the straw.

Boba milk tea is a popular beverage in Taiwan and has become increasingly popular in other parts of the world in recent years.

There are many different variations of boba milk tea, with different flavors of tea, milk, and sugar.

Boba milk tea is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for any occasion.

It is a great way to cool down on a hot day or to enjoy a sweet treat.

Boba Milk Tea Flavors and Colors

Following are some of the many different flavors of bubble tea with their corresponding color.

Matcha – green
Butterfly pea flower – Blue
Taro or ube – purple
Strawberry – pink
Mango – yellow

Make your earrings with your favorite flavor or just choose the color that you like best.

The possibilities are endless!

Colorful Polymer Clay Heishi Beads

Small, flat heishi beads look great for homemade jewelry, so I have a big supply in assorted colors in my craft stash.

Traditional heishi (pronounced hee-shee) beads are formed from a clay made from ground up shell or stone powder.

Today the term is used for a variety of flat disc shaped beads.

The most common type of heishi beads used for DIY jewelry crafts are made from polymer clay and come in a wide variety of colors.

These beads are lightweight, so they are a good choice for making jewelry that is comfortable to wear.

They can be purchased as strands of beads, packages of loose beads and boxed jewelry making kits with beads organized by color.

Typical size of the beads is 6mm wide by 1mm thick with a hole that is 2mm in diameter.

Beads are readily available, so you can easily get colors that will look cute added to these beaded earrings.

Hoop Earrings for Jewelry Making

Cute hoops are fun to wear and easy to work with, when you are making handmade jewelry.

Earring beading hoops are readily available in a variety of sizes and finishes at very reasonable prices.

You can get a package that includes all the same size and shape hoops or an assorted multipack that you can use to make a lot of fun hoop earrings.

A pack of hoops for making many pair of earrings is often less expensive than a single pair of fashion earrings at a discount store.

For this pair of rainbow beaded bear earrings I used round 1.2″ silver tone hoops, since that is a good size for me and many others – not too big and not too small.

You are welcome to use whatever size works for you.

If you are using bigger hoops, you may want to add more heishi beads than I did for the 1.2″ hoops.

Polymer clay beads are light, but if you are adding more than I did make sure the earrings will still be comfortable for you.

If you want to use smaller hoops, that’s fine, too.

Jump Rings: The Essential Jewelry Finding

Jump rings are small, open rings that are used to connect jewelry components.

They are a must-have for any jewelry maker, and they are especially useful for making bracelets.

To use a jump ring, simply open it with pliers and then thread it through the charm and the bangle.

Once the jump ring is in place, close it with pliers.

With a little practice, you will be able to use jump rings like a pro!

Jewelry Pliers: A Must-Have Tool for Jewelry Making

Pliers are a helpful tool to have for jewelry making.

They are especially useful for opening jump rings and attaching jewelry components together.

There are many different types of pliers available, but needle nose pliers are the most versatile.

Needle nose pliers have a short, pointed tip that is perfect for grasping small objects.

They are also available with comfortable grips, which can make them easier to use for extended periods of time.

If you are just starting out with jewelry making, I recommend getting a pair of needle nose pliers with comfortable grips.

This will give you a good basic tool to work with, and you can always add other types of pliers to your collection as you need them.

Where to Buy Jewelry Supplies Online

AliExpress has a huge selection of jewelry making and craft supplies at super low prices – incredibly low prices. Plan ahead when you order, since shipping can take longer than US based companies.
Amazon also has a good selection of supplies and shipping can be very fast.

You can get the supplies for these cute DIY bubble tea hoops at either of those online stores.
