How to make a ghillie suit for £20

[19powell90 89]

hey lads, so my friend made a ghillie suit very cheaply and is very effective so i took the task upon myself to also make one and thought i would document it so i could show everyone else how to make one very cheaply.

 

materials:

 

camo/green all in one boiler suit from ebay : £8

camo/green balaclava from ebay : £2.50

3m camo material from hobby craft : £12.90

scissors

 

total : £23.40

 

you want to get a boiler that is bigger than your size

 

 

camo balaclava

 

 

camo material

 

 

cut the material into approx 1" wide strips by 12"-18" but keep it uneven in order to create a 3d effect

 

 

then you want to cut pairs of holes all over your suit in an orderly fashion - don't go mental

 

 

once done start to tie on the strips starting from the bottom

 

 

complete this process for the head mask

 

and here is what is should look like

 

 

 

 

this suit can be made in a day. it is inexpensive, effective and does the job.

 

hope you find this useful bargain hunters

For some reason that gilly-suit reminds me of what the village witch doctor of some remote amazon tribe might wear for a sacrificial ceremony around the fire on a moonlit night in a jungle clearing.

 

I might just copy this idea some day.
