Check out these two links on making Ghillie suits:
http://www.geocities.com/stalker217/ghillie/intro.htm
http://www.ghilliesuits.com/build%20_own.htm
-For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, here is a picture of a ghillie suit-
I am currently making a poncho style one and will be posting it when I am done.
And another thing...I used Rit Dye to dye my jute twine (dont use burlap strips, it is time consuming and more expensive)
To get the twine of equal length, get an 9" piece of cardboard and wrap the twine around it. Then cut the wrapped twine down the center and you will have a bunch of 18" lengths of twine!

Nifty, get a picture of it when you are finished. I can't help but to look at the picture and laugh at how funny it looks. It looks like something from the Adams family. "Cousin Itt"
Edit: Thanks imperialist. I couldn't remember his name.

You dont have to attach it to a jacket. I am making a 1 piece poncho ghillie suit which is just the net cut to the dimensions of a poncho and then I just tie on the jute twine.

I was once at a paintball game and some people were trying those out. They were hard to see, but when you could see them, the were too slow to move and stuff. I personally don't like those suits, because if you have a semi-auto sniper and someone pops out of nowhere with a full-auto rifle and you are too chewbacca-like to run, you are royally screwed.
