Frame it Get a cardboard box and cut out one whole side but leave the bottom intact so that it is open on one side. Reinforce any loose edges with duct tape. You can easily construct a frame for plastic sheeting with PVC pipes or wooden sticks.

Use your spray booth Once you have your DIY spray booth built it will be ready for use on your projects. Position your project in the booth, activate the exhaust fan, and spray away. Just remember to mask up and work in a well-ventilated space to keep yourself safe.
