Question Where Can I Find The Materials To Make A Paintball Ghillie Suit??

OK,

I am trying to learn how to make a Paintball Ghillie Suit

and I want to know where I could find and purchase the

materials needed to make this particular type of suit.

I know I could simply purchase one already made,

but I'm trying to make one myself so that I can

conduct a workshop on how to make them and teach others.

Please let me know how to go about doing this if anybody knows,

I appreciate the info

I believe it's a full body suit type...

I'm trying to help my boyfriend out cause

he wants to open up a work shop and teach people how to make

them. He made his own sniper suit a while back which was really cool,

it was a full body suit and hood which was completely covered

with leaves. He would put it on and then go out into the backyard

and he would blend right in with the rest of the bushes, you couldn't even

see him there even though he was in plain sight!

kinda scary if you are out camping somewhere! hahaha!

I would actually like to know how to make them all,

I know it's gonna be a lot of work,

I plan on making one just to learn how to do it,

I hope it's not as difficult as you say...

its not difficult, just incredibly time consuming.
theres many ways, but here's how i made mine.


start off with an OD greed color flight suit.

also, buy enough camo netting to cover all the suit.

next, cut and sew (use dental floss, its the toughest stuff for this kinda thing) the camo netting to the flight suit, not too baggy, but not skin tight either, or you wont have much room to move.

once you have your ghillie base, then go out and get a LOT of the material used to make BDUs at your local army surpluss store. i think it's called rip-stop but im not sure. i cant tell you how many yards i used, as i lost track.

roll the material up tight. tape them so it doesn't come undone. NOTE: you may have to cut down the length into a few pieces depending on how much you buy

next, take a hacksaw and cut down the cylinder of rolled material so that you get little disks that vary in diameter from bout .75 to 1.5 inches. dont be too precise, just guess. the point of doing this is that the hacksaw gives a real feathered edge to the material.

unroll the newly cut disks and you should get long strips. cut these into pieces of different lengths (i used bout 5-7 inch lengths and it turned out good, but its a matter of preference).

once you have a rather large pile of these strips, you must tie them onto the netting on the flight suit. you DONT need to tie a strip to every square. this will just make the ghillie overly heavy and quite dense. go about every 3-4 squares. it's still be quite bushy and will work quite well.

the OD green flightsuit, netting, and material should be available at any army surplus store. the dental floss, well, i hope you know where to get that.

hope i helped

Thumbs up Wow! Thanks!

WOW!


That was very thorough and informative!

Where did you learn how to make these suits?

Did you have one to go off of, or did you

sort of just figure it out?




Thank you very much for sharing your

knowledge of these suits with me, I am

happy I was able to come here and find the

information I was looking for so quickly!!





There is an Army Surplus Store just a couple

of miles down the road and I am going to go

see what they got tomorrow and get started!!





The one thing that will probably be very

difficult to find is that damn dental floss!!!





If only finding THAT could be as easy as finding

you and your instructions!!!




hahaha!





I will keep you informed on how it's coming along.

Thank You again for sharing your valuable information

and so quickly !!





Take Care

haha no problem
i have some relatives in the armed forces that made ghillies and i've made my own. i used a mix of their knowledge and, admittedly, hours of google searches to come up with what i believe to be the best way to make a ghillie
