A note to people making one:

If you can, use the recycled fishing net from Michael's Craft store. (Or, if you're resourceful, like my one friend, you can get it from red lobster depending on their decor choices).

The badminton netting I picked up needs extra reinforcement all along the edges, otherwise there's a good chance the knots that turn string into netting will come undone if your ghillie snags and the shoe goop is pulled off.

That happened to mine on the bottom of the legs, where the most snagging and tugging occured. It's quite a mess to sort through, some sections of netting I have to count as a loss, cut off and replace (only about a 5'' by 5" patch, but still)

To reinforce those areas where the most snagging occured, on the edges I am hand sewing the knots down using extra strength jean thread, than shoe gooing on top of that. Here's a pic of what I mean:
