I made these Oompa Loompa Homemade Twin Costumes for World Book Day for my 8 year old twins. I stitched the dungarees myself, which is pretty impressive for me as I’m no seamstress.

I dressed up as a deer and my husband dressed up as a hunter. We put a bulls eye on his stomach and I carried around a plastic shot gun. We got GREAT compliments on our Homemade Deer Hunting Costume and people couldn’t stop telling us how original it was!
