Not really homemade, but an easy mod...
I cut the corners off of the 9x9 Gear Guide camo tarp at the side seams, sewed some tie-outs at the corners, and made myself a camo hex tarp.
I'm still looking at using the leftover triangles somehow. I hemmed them and sewed tie-outs to the corners of them as well. I'll have to experiment further.
I put these pics in the gallery too.

Looks good. What made you decide to not cat cut the sides and just leave the
2 tie-outs on that were already there?

Were you able to hang a hammock and use the triangle as a wind break, as the third picture suggests?

How much does the mod 9x9 sportsman weigh?

Hey, that looks really good. I just got one of those tarps last week. Neo says I won't be sorry.
Did you cat cut he sides of the tarp? If I am not mistaken, the 9x9 already has a slight cat cut. Am I wrong?
Predictions are risky, especially when it comes to the future.
I though that is how much they weigh unmodified. Surely those corners weigh something.

My bad. My corners off reduced the weight by 3oz.

hm, that looks very good. I may pick one up, but I dont feel like spending the $50, selling a used one anybody?
They are only $30.00 plus shipping. Mule
