DIY Ring Light for under $40




I made this ring light a few weeks back, and thought I would quickly share the tutorial with you guys. Its super simple and way cheaper than buying an actual ring light which can cost anywhere from $100-$300. This tutorial has the stand included with is awesome if you're not facing a wall and need a stand. Below is the full tutorial that explains how to make it.

Supplies:
Wire wreath (18 or 20in)
aluminum foil
Paper towel holder (metal)
zip ties
crazy glue
LED lights (I used 2 for the 20inch, you can get away with 1 for the 18in) (I used http://amzn.to/2o2XxX6)
Power Adapter http://amzn.to/2nQCW7q

Its a suer simple process and I don't think you really need pictures. So I will just write the steps.

1. Cover the wreath in aluminum foil until it is completely covered. I just take pieces and cut them off then wrap them around a section of the wreath until it is all covered in aluminum. It serves to reflect the light and as a base to put your lights on.

2. Put the lights on the aluminum foil in a circular pattern, the back is sticky. You will need to connect them if you're using more than one set of lights. Its simple but it can seem tricky, heres a video that explains it well.

3. After you stick the lights on and connect them, you will connect them to the power adapter. Plug it in to make sure it works.

4. After all that you can attach the stand (paper towel holder). You just attach it with zip ties. Theres no method. I just put a whole bunch until it was steady and didn't fall. Ha.

Theres a lot of tutorials using different lights. Even though it might be simpler these are the best lights I found for making videos.

Feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

Happy DIYing!
