There is no right answer. There are multiple options and approaches one can take when making a Ghillie Suit. Some may use burlap strips, whereas others will opt for raffia, etc. The best solution depends heavily on the current environment where Ghillie should blend in.
Despite a ton of options, we strongly recommend everyone to start with a very solid Ghillie suit base. The base means the clothing (Often hood + jacket + pants) that is then adjusted using local vegetation. You see, with the cheapest options out there, you mostly get just weak fabrics with wrong color corrections.
If you want a proper Ghillie suit, it will require some effort. Also, in most cases, this is not a one-time effort as nature colors change drastically throughout the year. For this reason, you might have to readjust your Ghillie every time you use it.
