I used this guide as a reference to making my Pop-Filter. I made one slight alteration from this design though. My local big-box store did not carry embroidery hoops, so I did what any good musician would do: I improvised.

The lids of the new plastic coffee containers (Folgers and Maxwell House use them now) are a suitable alternative if you cannot find an embroidery hoop or wish to shave another $0.50 off the price. Just carefukky cut away the central portion of the plastic lid and staple the pantyhose in place.

I used hard electrical wire instead of the boom stick- flexible, can be easily adjusted to desired position.
-Used Epoxy Steel glue to attach the end of the wire to a paper clip.

Or you could just learn to sing a slight “bray” instead of “pray,” and such. Saved me $20…
