With the help of this site, our band decided on making our own Willy Wonka and Oompa Loompa costumes. We bought the green Oompa Loompa wigs, orange and white face paint, brown turtle necks, white scrub pants, striped socks. For the neck we cut white medical tape into strips. For the buttons on the pants, we cut out some cardboard and spray painted them brown, then used a hot glue gun to fasten them to the pants. The suspenders are made out of ribbon.
Willy Wonka found his brown hat on eBay and his mom made the jacket out of fabric. He bought material for the chest area, and bought ribbon for the tie. Add a cane and you have yourself Willy Wonka.
It is hard to find group costumes for a large number of people, but this worked out great for our band. As soon as we took the stage, the crowd went wild. They loved it!
