The Josh wanted to go as a sniper for Halloween. Sadly, the costume did not get started until October.....two weeks before Halloween. Yeah Yeah Yeah I know. Craziness. After much research I came up with a plan on how to construct the ghillie suit. Much burlap was purchased and dyed. I am a little worried about what our neighbors think of us now seeing the burlap was drying on the front porch. The burlap was dyed browns, greens, black, tan, and grays. Each The Sunday before Halloween is when the actual ghillie suit started to take form.
This is after the two days of connecting the burlap.
Here it is in the dark.
Here is the ghillie suit on the ground.
Here is the finished object.
All that is left to do is make the hat.
It took over 95 hours to attach the burlap. I think I will be waiting a little while before I start on that.
