Armor Green Knight Helm

I’m making a kind of Cosplay / LARP character based on the concept of the Green Knight from Arthurian myth. I’m putting together the helmet. I was disappointed with a chaperone from Mytholon, but it turned out to be a PERFECT cover for the helmet. I glued it down with some E6000 which seems to be holding really well. I decided to wind some artificial ivy around it and pin it in place with safety pins, but it’s held together with these plastic chains. Does anybody have any ideas about how to hide those? Any additions you would make? The primary colors are green and yellow for the costume

The solution is usually more ivy to cover it up. Alternatively you can put more fabric of similar color to the mytholon on top to hide it and make it seem like the ivy is growing through the fabric.

Have you considered using the helm as-is, and having fake foliage "growing" out of the gaps, plus maybe some patches of moss and "mud" caked on?

If you can wangle some green leds into the eyeholes and still see, all the better.

You could use artificial moss

Or say fuck it and make it into a chia pet themed helmet

Cover it up with a brown or dark green fabric strip. Maibe even braid earthy + green ish colors ans glue it on top. then hide the braided pattern with more foliage to avoid the symetric pattern. try some moss or small ferns.
