yeah, you can use particle board to make a booth, but it won't be very sound proof if that's what you're looking for. Judging by your user name, I'd say you do rap music or something like it? And you want a booth to track vocals? Are you doing this is a spare room of a house or apartment or maybe your bed room? Your money would be better spent on treating the room your in rather than building a booth in an already small space. I'm just blabbing because you really haven't given us a lot of info to go on. But the short answer to your question is yes, but I wouldn't advise it.

see diffusions thread on his blanket booth. mommy and daddy might help you pay for that before they let you build a booth in your bed room. I don't mean to sound cruel or anything but, at 14 you should read a LOT more about acoustics before you think you can solve your problems with a particle board vocal booth.
Peace.

Stand Up Comity
My cheapo vocal booth:
In the bedroom do you have a closet with sliding or bifold doors? Open the doors as wide as you can exposing the most hanging clothes. That would be my wife's at my house. Put the micstand in between the clothes so that the mic is outside the clothes by about 6". Stand in the bedroom and sing toward the clothes.
The clothes act as a major kickin' good absorber acting on almost 180° of your projection. There is very little left to go bouncin' round the room and hit the mic again. The bed is a big absorber, too. Open up the other closets if you can. This makes for a very localized acoustically dead space which will take care of 99% of those echoes and reflections.
