Learn how to make a spray booth with just $5 worth of foam board and duct tape you probably already have in your garage!
This easy DIY project keeps your workspace clean and overspray under control.
If you are reading this, you are probably a crafter or DIYer and you probably do a lot of spray painting, like I do.
After accidentally spray-painting my stairs, deck, and even concrete, I needed an inexpensive and easy solution. That’s when I discovered a simple trick using foam boards from Dollar Tree.
This DIY spray booth isn’t permanent, but it’s surprisingly durable and does a great job containing the mess.
Plus, it only costs $5 to make!

Supplies Needed
- Foam board (5 sheets)
- Duct tape (or packing tape – either work well)

How to Make a Spray Booth Instructions
Step 1: Build the Booth
Tape three foam board sheets together along their long edges to create the back and sides of the spray booth.

Step 2: Cut Pieces

Cut two smaller pieces for the top and bottom, and tape them in place.
The result is an open-front box that’s perfect for containing overspray while keeping your workspace clean.

I set mine up in my garage without worrying about the mess! It’s a budget-friendly solution that saves time and stress.

I made one similar to this using a cardboard box but it was really dark inside. I like your idea of using white board. I also put a cheap lazy susan in mine to make it easier to spray paint items! Love your blog!!
