Thanks for the responses everyone. My FIL gave me a bunch of burlap sacks not long ago, so I have a ready supply of that. I was trying to think of a way to hang it so that it was out to my side. I guess nail a board perpendicular to the tree about shoulder-high, attach the burlap, then secure the bottom to the stand.
Using zip ties to attach branches to the stand's seat and projecting them upwards is a good idea. Zip ties are often a great solution to many things, yet I never seem to think of for some reason, hah!
Between those two, I think I can cut my silhouette. Thanks so much for the suggestions. I'm open to hearing more, too.
