You can definitely free hand sketch your ghosts but if you’ve got a printer at home, it is so much easier to print ghosts to cut out! Free hand sketches never turn out great for me. You can also just print the ghost template at your local library or print shop for a small cost.
Aside from that, you’ll just need some twine and mini clothespins which you can pick up from the Dollar store and reuse for many paper garlands to come and a good pair of scissors!
Here are some of the things I have gotten from Amazon:

Step 2: Cut Twine To The Desired Length
Pick where you’d like to hang your garland and cut your twine to the length of that. You can use tape if you’d like as it’s super light but you can also use a thumb tacks/pushpins! I love hanging my garlands on my mantel!
Step 3: Use Mini Pins To Attach Ghosts To Twine
Attach the paper ghosts to the twine using your mini pins. I love to tilt the ghosts to one side and have them hanging angled but you can do what works for you!
