How to Make an Emo or Goth Teletubby

Most of us know the annoying and slightly creepy kids show "Teletubbies." Follow these directions and turn your old Teletubby into an emo or goth masterpiece. Just don't blame us if you wake up one night to find your Teletubby listening to The Cure and whining about how no one understands him.

Things You'll Need

White paint
Permanent marker
Metal rings
Dark fabric
Needle
Thread
Chain

Instructions

- 1
  Choose your victim, er, Teletubby. Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po work equally well.
- 2
  Paint your Teletubby's face, except for the eyes and mouth, white. Allow its face to dry thoroughly.
- 3
  Ring your Teletubby's eyes with the black marker to make it authentically emo or goth. Color its lips and the insides of its ears black as well.
- 4
  Fill in the rectangle on your Teletubby's teletummy with the black marker, then draw an emo- or goth-esque design on the black rectangle using the white paint. Use your imagination.
- 5
  Attach the small metal rings to one of your Teletubby's ears. You can either run them through its fabric ears or glue the rings into place. Use several.
- 6
  Use the dark fabric, needle and thread to make some emo or goth duds for your new friend. Skinny black jeans, tiny Converse sneakers and a wee scarf are fashion statements for any goth Teletubby on the go. Complete the look with a Teletubby-sized wallet chain.
