If you haven’t been introduced to the Labubu craze, are you living under a rock?
I feel like these trendy bag charms have taken my feed by storm, and I can’t escape them. The blind box creatures (you don’t know which character you’ll unwrap until after you purchase) come in a variety of collectible styles, with varying levels of rarity.
Recently, I’ve been seeing a lot of people switch out their Labubu charms to match their bags or outfits depending on the day. While I love a good cohesive outfit, this results in more clutter no one has any room for.
When I came across this TikTok video by @adrianwidjy, I thought it was a genius way to display your collection and turn what could be a mess into a cute piece of wall art.
How to Make a Labubu Display Case Using an IKEA Frame
In the video, the creator removes the wood backing on a 35×35-centimeter Sannahed frame from IKEA to create a deeper space that fits up to eight Labubus. This IKEA gem comes in a variety of neutral colors like white, black, tan and brown. This ensures two things: that the frames will match whatever other decor you have in your room and that your colorful Labubus will really pop.
In the U.S., the Sannahed frame comes in either 19 3/4 x 19 3/4 inches or 9 3/4 x 9 3/4 inches. You could arrange your Labubus like how the creator does it in the video, or one commenter suggests adding faux flowers or other mementos to fill in the space. I’d probably purchase some scrapbook paper to add a background to my frame so you can’t see the original backing.
As a Labubu appreciator, I think this display case is the perfect way to show off your collection even if you don’t want to hang them on your bag. The Sannahed frame also makes a great showcase for other items if you’ve got knickknacks hanging around that haven’t yet found their proper place.
