    Wink D.I.Y. With Fronkey - How to make a Hammock Tarp

    Hey there fellow hangers, here is the new episode of DIY With Fronkey -"How to make a Hammock Tarp." Please comment below if you have any questions and thanks so much for watching!



    A big thanks to Pockets for doing most of the camera work and thanks to Xtrekker as well for making the cat curve calculator.
    Supplies:

    7 yards of Silnylon - Ripstop By The Roll
    1.5 yards of 7/8" gross grain - (Can be found in the ribbon section of any craft store)
    100% Polyester thread -(Any place that sells craft supplies.)
    Silnet - Bust out some google fu. It's everywhere!

    Fronkey, I think you are ready for Hollywood. I'm not sure Hollywood is ready for you, but that's another story
    Seriously, great tarp video! Both the production and the tarp are slick. (Of course it's slick; it's silnylon!)
    Keep up the good work, Fronkey!
