Well, first of all, while this isn't inherently exclusive, Artemis usually only bestows her favor upon females, so if you're a male, don't get frustrated if your worship goes unrequited.

Artemis is goddess of the hunt, and of fertility. She is frequently associated with the moon, but she is not the actual goddess of the moon. Things to include in an altar to her should be animal symbolism, especially the stag, moon symbolism, and hunting symbolism like a bow, hunting knives, or arrows. Offerings should be things like meat from your hunts, or blood from an animal that you hunted. Antlers and hooves from your kills could adorn her altar. If you're crafting this altar yourself make it from cypress, that wood is sacred to her. In ancient Greece they offered clothing to her temples after a successful childbirth.

Well, Artemis is a hunter goddess, and a bow and arrow were her favored weapons. But a hunting knife could do fine as well. Meat as offerings, or bread could work, and the crescent moon is her symbol, so maybe put a picture of the crescent moon on the altar. Maybe you could buy some statues or pictures as well to honor her. Or, try asking her for some ideas or her thoughts through a ritual or simple prayer.
