My name Is Jamie and my co worker Monica are just about the same size. We always enjoy making people laugh and thought little dancing Oompa Loompa’s would be pretty funny.
To start off we took a shoulder length blond wig and put rollers in it and sprayed it green. For a nice shade of orange we just used a really dark foundation found in the make up dept. The tops were just a brown turtle neck with painted lines, white gloves and some white pants. We sewed on ribbon and button to criss cross over the pants.
I picked up some striped socks from Target along with white tennis shoes. I used yarn to make the little pom pom’s and you have yourself a Oompa Loompa costume.

I want to be an Oompa Loompa but I cant seem to find an original outfit for one..its always those ugly ones from charlie.. anyways is there a place i can buy them all at one place? or do i have to buy each separate? Also i cannot seem to find the pants and i don’t know how to make them…any tips?
That idea is just fabulous. I want to do it but I can’t seem to find white pants or a brown turtle neck. How did you make the pom-poms brown and white mixed together? Did you put a layer of brown wool then white then brown again?
Great idea! Love the costume!
Awesome job! My friend is getting married and having a “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” theme, not your typical wedding, haha, but its very casual and gonna be fun! I would love to copy your talent and try and do costume like yours! Great job, very cute! Thanks for posting :)
How did you make the wig? Are the rollers still in the wig and what kinda paint did you use on the hair?
Please reply.
White pants are very hard to find in the fall. I found very inexpensive white scrubs at WalMart. My teacher friends and I are going as a gang of oompa loompas and Wonka too.
This is AMAZING! I swear I wouldn’t have a costume to go to work with tomorrow if it wasn’t for your pics. I wanted to be an oompa loompa and couldn’t figure out how to do it until I read this and last night I picked up my costume so thanks so much for your post and btw you guys look so friggin cute!
my school did willy wonka for a play and your costumes look identical to the ones we used
