Proffesional Ghillie Suit

 This instructable is on a ghillie suit.a ghillie suit is camouflage at its best . Military snipers use ghillie suits to hide in fields forests and other vegatation . I have seen a  few other ghillie suit instructables but i wanted to make my own . 

Step 1 Materials

 You will need a few things to make a ghillie suit 
a piece of burlap big enough to wrap around your body 3 times
camouflage pants(i didn't want to make my nice camo pants ghillified so i made a par of pants)
camouflage shirt or jacket
camouflage hat
netting with 1 inch spacings(cut up a baddmitten net)
 fabric dyes(that blend into your surroundings)
hot glue 
hot glue gun
lots of time

I like your idea.but in practise we should not see you when looking at the photo.then youre camo/ghillie suit will be a winner!
And then everybody will probably comment and say; what ghillie suit?
Or even say all they can see is a empty bush. still nice instructable.

I was able to find burlap 5X12' already cammoed,it was $10.00 a bundle so I bought 2 in hopes of making a suit when I get the time.What would be wrong with just sewing hemmed stips of burlap on directly overlapping of course and then pulling the strings apart?

[nail face]

your idea sounds like it would work, but it might not hide the shape of your body as much.

tules is not how you spell tools and the ghillie vegatation ratio is wrong 30 burlap 70 veg.

Can you show a picture of all the burlap strands you used? I'm getting a lot of individual strands from the burlap bags, but I don't know how many I should get. I don't want to waste dye if I don't have enough strands. Whats the average length of your strands?

[mr.Melancholy]

what did you find to help you separate the burlap fibers?

[David-Yezbak]

i use a crotcheing needle it is a hook that hooks on to one string and pulls it out. it works 10 times as fast.

[mr.Melancholy]

thank you

Where can you find some burlap string/yarn?

[Fridge Gnome]

I got mine at wall-mart in the fabric section, you will still need to pull it apart though.

All of a sudden every one is a professional! at making ghillies, what a laugh! Got any pictures of the one you made not just some copied pics of the net?????

[HypnoprisM]

When will the pics be here for the burlap attachment? Also, this is REALLY helpful!

[yourworstnightmare]

kicker109 is right use hot glue on the corners or waxed flost in an x pattern. Sorry i didnt get back to u i had no idea that mmy instructable was posted sorry

[kicker109]

use hot glue or sew it on with cotton or waxed dental floss

[zack attack]

why floss? ( nice user pic!)

[kicker109]

thanks about the pic...

[kicker109]

Because unlike hot glue (im using this method because i dont have much time to spend) it wont come undone easily and "Kill" the look of it, i chose waxed because moisture wont hold in it and rott if you know what i mean.
