Paint yourself green and get a green wig and you are set. Last year my daughter had a dress up at school where they had to come dressed up as their favorite character from a book. She even gave everyone in her class a Willies Wonks chocolate bar.
It was so much fun. And we used clothes from around the house. The most expensive part was the wig. I took one of the blond bouffant wigs and spray painted it green. A friend at work made the pants for me; she is an expert on Oompa Loompa costumes so also helped me with the make up. She painted my face orange with white brows and the shirt is a brown turtle neck with white tape on the neck and arms for the strips. I sprayed my hair with green temporary paint and stripped the socks with white paint.
My mom made the puff balls on the shoes out of yarn. Everyone seemed to love it. Our little man started walking at 9 months and by 11 months he was a pro. He looked funny walking because he was so small and so we decided he would become an Oompa Loompa. This was my first time making a costume ever, so pretty much anyone could do it.
It took about an hour or 1hr and a half to make. For the white turtleneck I used brown craft paint called Apple Barrel Colors 2fl. I poured the whole bottle into a big bowel added a bit of water and threw the turtleneck into it you could just buy dye, but this was cheaper.
I let it set for about 15min. When the turtleneck dries dryer the next step is to make the white stripes with the white fabric paint Polymark dimensional fabric paint 1fl. I drew a pattern onto the fabric almost like shorts but with half a circle on the side.
After cutting that out, I then made another one for the backside. Next I cut out two strips for the crisscross overall and added the buttons. As for the balls on top of the shoes, I used white yarn. If you got face paint, all you have to do is paint your whole face and maybe your neck dark orange. Then, over that, paint yourself some white eyebrows.
Pretty awesome, my only suggestion would be to use a brighter orange. I don't know if the dark orange is closer to the original, but it's awfully close to "blackface" which might offend some.
