Generally one buys a ghillie suit. However, soldiers are required to make their own.
Here is the general procedure: a rough webbing made of a stainable fabric like burlap is attached. A nearly invisible material like fishing line is used to sew each knot of net to the fabric The jute is applied to the netting by tying groups of 5 to 10 strands of a color to the netting with simple knots, skipping sections to be filled in with other colors. The webbing is then seasoned by dragging it behind a vehicle, leaving it to soak in mud, or even applying manure to make it smell. The ghillie suit is made to blend with the area with twigs, leaves, and other elements of the local foliage as much as possible, although these local additions must be changed as the branches wilt periodically. It also has different lengths of camoflague material to break up the outline of a person.
I have made my own ghillie suit (I bought a kit off eBay for like 40 bucks). I talked to some people who made some out of fishing net and ripped up rags. For paintball, the second choice is better and cheaper.
