The WWII US Marine Corps cloth camo, and the Vietnam War US Army Mitchell pattern (reversible) cloth camo covers were half circle cut (half circle design), you just placed the steel helmet (steel shell=steel pot) into the opened up cloth camo and stuffed the exterior of the shell into the cloth camo, and pulled and stretched until the shell was tightly inside the cloth camo. Then you folded the tips of the cloth into the center of the helmet's interior and then stuffed the liner into the shell (on top of the folded up cloth camo). The liner holds the camo cloth cover in place.
The US Army's netting (was general issue in WWII, and parts of Korea only) might be a square cut pattern (not a half circle cut like the cloth camo described above). If so, just lay the steel pot open side up centered on the laid out camo net, then tuck in the ends of the net, just like was done with the cloth camo covers described above, tuck them in nice and tight, then stuff the helmet liner in on top of the net...again just like was done with the cloth camo. Again, the liner will hold the camo net in place. For the exterior, a commonly available (because they're still be used and issued) helmet band will hold it in place or a cut inner tube from a tire (like the original Vietnam War bands used to be).

The liner will have a small hole in the front, and have khaki webbing inside. The webbing in the liner will have a hole in the middle. A Vietnam era helmet is lighter in colour, and has green straps. Its liner will have no hole at the front, and its webbing will be green. The webbing in these liners will have no hole in the middle.

How do you identify a World War 2 M1 Helmet?
First, be advised, that several European nations copied the US M1 steel helmet shell during the early part of the cold war. Those helmets can be identified by usually having revits in them along with an interior suspension system (no liner required). Some will have slightly different edges and rolls to them, and some will be slightly smaller in diameter to a US M1 steel shell (commonly referred to as "steel pots"). In those cases, one must compare the US M1 to a European clone side by side to tell the difference. Secondly, over 22 million US M1 steel pots were made during WWII, and all them had varying degrees of shapes, colors, seams, and swivels. Those M1 shells also fought in the Korean War (which was only 5 years after WWII ended). On or about 1967, the US produced another 1 million M1 steel helmets, these were aired on the TV news about that year; and as shown on television, were being produced from scrapped cars. These M1's were to augment the diminishing WWII supply, and be sent to the Vietnam War, going on at that time. If the M1 steel helmet has a lowered crown (foreward top portion), and the usual swivel bales, and the usual rear seam, and has an ORIGINAL FACTORY redish/browish primer with an ORIGINAL FACTORY "Olive Green" exterior paint job, non-corked (smooth), then it's one of those 1967 produced Vietnam War era M1 steel helmet shells. Anything other than explained above, is one of those 22 million WWII steel pots.

How are army helmets made partically world war 2 M1 helmets?
Most WW2 era helmets are made by a drop hammer forge. A plate of steel is laid over a form and a heavy hammer pounds it into the shape of the template. The M1 helmet has a thin metal seam formed around the edge so that it will not be sharp. The fitting for the chin strap is welded on. Most helmets of other countries are made in similar fashion. Of course the German helmet is thicker steel as it does not have a liner. The French Adrian helmet is made of 3 pieces that are formed and welded together.
