In need either regular camouflage or preferably orange camouflage tulle netting. I run into this problem frequently, I need an odd type of fabric or print and don't know where I can get it. I will dye it if necessary but I'm not sure on a technique on how to dye camouflage print. I am making a Pixie costume and need it for the wings and dress. Luckily I have plenty of time before it's due, but I keep running into this problem. Anyone know of a good place to get odd fabrics/prints or how to dye prints? :nc:

I finally had it suggested to me to paint the tulle. I am going to try this on a small piece. If this works, I can do any design I want - great for future uses too. I will let you know if this works well or not. The Outdoor...inc. didn't have exactly what I needed though, thank you anyway.

Don't make the trip without making the phone call first, but...

I was at walmart today and i could have sworn I saw camoflage tulle. (It was olive and brown though.

I just looked at it and thought, hmmmm...Militia Wedding?

Carol that cracks me up! Even the green/brown would work. I go to both Wal-mart and Joannes on Friday nights (how sad is that?) So I will definatly be asking for this, so far I haven't seen any here. If I ask though, Joannes knows me well enough that they will usually hold something for me for when I come back in. But I do forget Wal-mart. Thanks ladies!
