You mean like camo netting? For it to be rolled up I normally use medical gauze. I roll it up, soak it in white glue, and paint it. Seems you can use the same stretched out a bit if you want it to cover something.

Visit a fabric store and check out their supply of tule. Normally used for bridal veils and the like, it comes in a variety of weaves and colors.
