Don't know if I should put this in Chit-Chat or DIY but since it's really silly I just put it here.

So basically I wan't to build a new outfit for LARP and I wan't to be of the Dendryte Druid race and class. My costume has to fit the requirements for Iron Liege, Dagorhir, and RoG LARP standards. Theres a couple pics below of an example. Since I don't wanna spend more than 20 bucks this is what I was gonna do. Get an old hoody, some shoes, a scarf/veil, some jeans, paint, and tribal war paint, and a bunch of leaves, grass, shubbery from the park around my neighborhood. Now my biggest problem is how to get the stuff to adhere to the clothing (super glue maybe?) and another problem is whether I should use fake/real plants. I was thinking starting with fake and then adding plantlife from around me to help me blend in with the environment (the only problem with real plants is that they die). An suggestions and if you feel like you have a better way to do it, please, please help me.

From what the Marshall at the LARP wrote for requirements: Costume and make up requirements: Heavy costuming for a tree or plant person, may include body suits or heavy make-up. Possibly includes; branches, leaves, flowers, moss, or bark patterned costuming.

Heres an example of a costume they actually used:
