Worked with such an ANNOYING material! Made some Snake Skins for my Kelty Noah 12 out of Tulle and it took about 45 minutes of tangling and frustration but I got it!!
Got some 1.9 ripstop coming in Wednesday along with some techline and a cinch buckle system from Arrowhead Equipment since it was on sale!
this DIY thing is just to addictive!
I would consider the tulle I have used to be too delicate of a material to use for snake skins. You may have some that is more robust though.
I have used it for an ultralight open bottom bug net knowing that I would need to be extra careful with it.
Nice work by the way and yes, diy is addictive.
I would really like to see some plans for snake skins. I would like to make them for my ENO tarp and my Kelty that I ordered from Department of Goods. when people recommended it last week.Quote:

this is a very VERY lazy way of making snake skins and you get bulging in the middle that you can even out a little but itll always be there
Tulle is such a delicate material, that it really is not that easy to sew. I made a tulle snakeskin, it works well, has no weight to it at all, but you can't be rough with it in any way or it will "self destruct" I made my second oneout of no see-um mesh material and it worked out much better when sewing it.

I have found 2 kinds of tulle at Joann's... the flimsy kind and some that was labelled Fasion Tulle. This stuff is pretty strong. I even used it in a HH clone. holds up just fine... oh, they had 3 kinds of camo!
