Camouflage net

Post by TJ-metal51 »

Hi,
I'm not sure if this has been suggested before, so I'll share it anyway. I found some cheap cloth in B&Q today, I already had some dye, so I had a go on a test piece. I don't think it looks too bad.

It's only about £3 for the cloth, I already had the dye, but I believe spray painting it works too.

I tried the net that oranges come in, but it wouldn't dye. I expect a hair net would react the same.
