so i bought a little spool of this kind-of khaki color, it is dry and light fire almost instantly, on the package it says “Natural Polished Thin Hemp” is this Jute twine?
Jute and hemp are not the same thing though they can look pretty similar when made into twine.
We love the combo of rough-hewn material and sophisticated tailoring on this ballet flat from All Black. Rich linen rises in precisely cut sections to tie softly over the vamp with grosgrain ribbon. Snug them all the way up, thanks to the long – and ankle-flattering – ties. Leather linings and footbeds keep ‘em easy on the feet. They team up beautifully with linen shorts or shifts….

The whole purpose of Ghillie Suits are to provide you with human invisibility. Used by military personnel, hunters and people who play paintball, the suits need to have the ability to provide complete coverage, because they might be used for life or death situations. Which is why the construction and design of custom suits is critical for that coverage. Ghillie Suits are made usually from burlap or jute and use natural materials like twigs, leaves and branches to make the user blend into their natural environment as well as possible. Due to the fact that no natural environment may necessarily be the same, serious and professional military experts insist on making their own suit for their own mission needs as well as ensuring that the suit is best adapted to the environment they will be using the suit in.
As the sport of hunting and Ghillies become more popular, users are opting to making their own Ghillie Suit. They do so by taking military BDUs and ‘dressing’ them up with jute strips and other natural materials until they have created their very own Ghillie Suit. There is also the option of purchasing a Ghillie Suit Kit which enables users to create their custom suit according to a certain patter. Many users opt for purchasing a Ghillie Suit Kit, because creating a Ghillie Suit is extremely time consuming. Imagine gathering hundreds of particular length twigs, leaves, jute, burlap and more. Sorting all the materials, then putting it together… and if it does not workout, you have to do it all over again. At the very best, making your Ghillie Suit can take up to a minimum of 100 hours to complete.
Creating your own Ghillie Suit, for too many is hard, time consuming and meticulous. There is a solution if you truly want “instant invisibility” – the easiest way to create a suit that will cover you head to toe is to use a Poncho Ghillie Kit instead of making a suit with pants and a jacket. The advantage of doing making your own Ghillie Suit is that you can choose that amount of covering you would like to have on the suit, which enables you to control the weight and density of your suit, which is particularly good for very cold climates.
Ghillie Suits once for the professional snipers, serious hunters, and military professionals, it more and more being used by paintball enthusiast and if your one them, making your own custom Ghillie Suit from a kit may be a good alternative to pre-made suits, especially if you prefer synthetic materials as opposed to natural materials. Making your own Ghillie Suit allows you to make it fire-retarded and waterproof as well.
Ghillie Suit Safety Considerations
Additionally, if your using jute as your base material, this product is very flammable and has to be treated with flame retarded. The Ghillie Suit Kits usually contain a fire resistant treatment that allows you to prepare and apply onto your suit for adequate protection from fire. If your someone who is particularly concerned about the flammability of a primarily comprised jute Ghillie Suit, you may be better for your needs to just purchase a suit that is already made from non-flammable materials. If have never made a Ghillie Suit and are concerned about safety, it is recommended that you do not make your Ghillie Suit, and purchase a pre-made suit which is non-flammable.
Custom Ghillie Suit
Customization is very important to many of our users, which is why many Ghillie Suit users will choose to purchase a pre-made Ghillie Suit, then gather and attach natural elements from their particular wildlife to embellish the Ghillie Suit. This method has proven to be the most time saving and practical means of ensuring you have a professionally designed suit and one that is designed to your individual needs.
Ghillie Suit Kit
As previously stated there are advantages in using a Ghillie Suit Kit. When you use a Ghillie Suit Kit to design your Ghillie Suit you can choose your color scheme and ensure that you have the best possible camouflage for your particular environment. Doing so, you will find that using several different colors to create your suit will make it easily distinguishable among your fellow hunters or outdoorsmen.
The easiest way to create a suit that will cover you head to toe is to use a poncho Ghillie kit instead of making a suit with pants and a jacket. Another advantage to making your own Ghillie is that you can choose that amount of covering you would like to have on the suit thus being able to control that weight and density of your suit, which is particularly good for very cold climates. For the paintball enthusiast, making your own custom Ghillie form a kit may be a good alternative to pre-made suits, especially if you prefer synthetic materials as opposed to natural materials. That way, you can not only fire-retard your Ghillie, but you can make it waterproof as well. Either way, make sure to choose your color palette carefully so that you can be provided the best possible coverage. And don’t for get to check the instructions of your Ghillie kit to see whether or not the final product will be lightweight.
Just remember, that if you start to make a custom suit and realize that it is just too labor intensive to suit you, we have plenty of high-quality pre-made Ghillie suits to choose from.

Making your own ghillie suit can be a very rewarding project. It is a very time consuming project and before you begin your project you should really determine if it’s worth your time.
After you have read further the step by step process you will see just how time consuming making a ghillie suit is. Making a full ghillie suit can take anywhere from 15 to 40 hours. While you may think that it will be a fun project in the beginning taking 2 hours each night for 8-20 days. You may have second thoughts on day 5 wishing you had just purchased one.
Let’s say that you can build a full suit in 20 hours. You should determine how much your time is worth. If you say merely $5/hour, building the suit is costing yourself $100. However, if you’re having fun doing it or its a project you do with your family, this cost doesn’t matter too much.
The materials of a ghillie suit alone may double your cost. The ghillie suit consists of three main parts. The clothes (jacket, pants, overalls, BDUs), netting and jute thread. Additional parts are dye, dental floss, sewing needles, spray paint, Shoe Goo, etc… Depending on what quality of suit you are constructing, the clothing portion can run you from $20 to $50 alone. The netting, jute and accessories will cost you from $10-$20 depending on how much you put on your suit.
If you add this all up, you’ll see that simply purchasing a ghillie suit may be a better choice than (DIY) doing it yourself. There is definitely some satisfaction on make your own suit. There’s nothing better than sniping someone in paintball, having them ask where you got your suit and you telling them you made it yourself. Their next question is often, how do I make one?
If you decide to purchase a ready-made ghillie suit, the Ultra Light Ghillie Suit is a very good quality and popular suit.
How to make a Ghillie Suit
Technically the ghillie suit is a very simple suit to build. Here are the basic steps. Get jacket and pants, lay and attach netting over them, tie strands of dyed jute to the netting. And you’re done! Of course, there are many many steps inbetween with little details but you get the gist of it.
First you should determine if you want a one piece or two piece suit. There are pros and cons to each one. A one piece suit is easier to get into and has no seam at the waist for potential snagging of your pants while crawling. The main advantage of a two piece suit is that you can just wear the top if that’s all you need. Once you select a suit type and are ready to purchase the clothes, remember to buy one or even two sizes larger than what you normally wear.
For netting, any type of strong net will do. A black volleyball net works well here. Other nets that you can use are fish nets, If you’re using any other color net, remember to dye it darker when you are dying your jute.
To attach the netting to your suit you can simply sew the netting to it. Do not use regular thread because its not strong enough. You can use waxed dental floss as it’s strong and cheap. Some people simply glue the netting onto the suit with Shoe Goo. I’ve found that the Shoe Goo dries very strong and is still slightly flexible. It saves actual labor time over using thread. But you’ll lose real time by waiting for it to dry. Some people do both, they sew the netting on and then Shoe Goo the corners to make sure the dental floss doesn’t come undone.
The netting should be attached to the back of the clothing. Whether or not you attach the netting to the front depends upon why you are making the suit. If you are going to be crawling or laying prone alot, you don’t want the netting and jute on the front of the suit. If you’re going to walking or crouching you would want the front of your suit covered.
The next step is to color the jute thread. The choice of colors is dependent on your environment. A decent color range to start with would be tan, green, black, brown, dark green.
You can add to these colors based on your environment. The thread can be colored using dye. Determine how much thread you want of each color and cut it in those sections and dunk them into the dye. You can get the clothing dye at any Walmart or Target.
You can also purchase the Ghillie Kit which comes with pre-cut and dyed jute along with the netting. These come in 5 lb and 7 lb sizes.
Once you have the jute thread dyed, it’s time to cut it into various lengths and attach them to the netting. Cut the just in strands of 18 to 24 inches and begin tieing them to the netting. It’s better to begin with your suit’s main color, such as tan. Take all the tan jute and tie one strand onto each netting square in the center. Then begin to add on the other colors in a random fashion.
Once you’re done, step back and take a look at your suit. Make any adjustments if you feel the color pattern isn’t random. To give it more color you can get some spray paint of a different color and give some threads a light spray.

I want to get a cheap or make a cheap and easy Ghillie Rifle Wrap. Whats to best way to make it and how. Or where is there a place that has a cheap good woodland ghillie rifle wrap? I looking for one around $20-30. This is for airsoft.
The cheapest way is to get a couple of pair of tube socks, preferably black (you can die them or paint them), cut out the toe and sew them together to make one long tube (you’ll be raiding your mom’s sewing kit). Then go to your local craft store and ask them for burlap. If you have a farm/farm stand around by you they may have some old burlap potato sacks. Cut the burlap you get from the craft store or the burlap bag into strips (don’t cut them evenly, make them unequal lengths and widths). Paint the strips with some flat olive drab green and flat black paint. You can then sew the burlap strips on to the socks or if you are lazy you can use a hot glue gun.
If you can get the burlap sack from the farmer/farm stand it will probably be free or just a couple of bucks. The paint will run you about $3.00 a can (buy the cheapest flat paint you can find). The socks you can either die or paint with your cheap spray paint and the sewing of the socks together will cost you nothing. Sewing the painted burlap onto the long sock will also cost you nothing. So the entire project can literally be done for $6.00, time and effort.
