You know those annoying consonants: P, B, W, H, T, all the ones that make horrible, half-popping half-banging, air-gun noises wheneveryou speak them into a mic? There’s a thing out there for them (formally known as plosives) called the Pop Filter. Most can run you anywhere from 15$ to 45$, some even higher (some lower, but probably not as good). For most people, that’s a smart buy. But if you want to do it SUPER DIRT CHEAP, you can do it this way.
All you need is an old coat hanger, an old shirt and some thread and/or staples. Parental or friend assistance is nice.
First, the coat hanger is bent into a ring and the loose ends twisted up to seal the ring. Cut a circle out of the shirt and secure it around the ring with pins. You probably should use thread to tie it together, but the string of mine kept breaking and so I was so fed up I went to Mr. Handy Dandy Stapler. Use the loose ends to bend a clamp which goes around your microphone. Adjust as necessary.
I spent no money, using only what I already had. If you don’t have old shirts, any light to medium, breatheable cloth should do. The quality afterwards is surprisingly phenomenal.
