Halloween // Costume construction help - lavender

Hi,

I’m not sure if this is a good place for this question but I have no idea where to start.

My 6yo son wants to be a sprig of lavender or a lavender plant for Halloween. Obviously not something I can buy and I prefer to make costumes anyway. I’m not quite sure his entire vision. I’m assuming this is something I need to start sooner rather than later and he’s had this idea for a month so I don’t think he’ll change his mind.

It has to be school friendly, so easy to wear, no masks, etc. Best if it’s easy to get on and off. And I like to be frugal.

I’m thinking green clothes but that’s where my thoughts end. I am okay at sewing basic things and I can crochet.
Maybe sewing crocheted lavender onto his green clothes? We are also growing lavender so I can dry some of that and add it somehow?

He was an ostrich last year but it had to be as close to anatomically correct as possible. So I’m expecting this to be somewhat elaborate.

Thoughts? Advice? Is there a better subreddit to ask?

Thanks in advance!!
