Make A Camo Ghillie Suit

Make a Camo Ghillie Suit


Ghillie suits are used to conceal one's position of attack. Nowadays they are popular with the recreational sport of paintball. A ghillie suit can be constructed many different ways. Some people choose to use BDU's (battle dress uniforms), which are the standard military dress of soldiers, as the base of their ghillie suit. As long as you choose a discrete set of clothes as your base (no bright colors) you'll be fine.


Instructions


1. Sewing on the net


Sew sections of netting onto the outside of a jacket, poncho, or similar apparel. Be sure to cover all areas of your jacket with sections of netting.


2. Adding the jute


Take individual strands of jute or burlap (5 to 15 inches in length) and weave them into your netting securing them with a knot at the end.


3. Repeat step 2 until you have covered the entire jacket with jute/burlap


4. Surrounding natural vegetation


Weave natural vegetation, such as branches from a nearby bush, fern, or plant, strategically into your netting.
