I know its been ages I wrote something down and I'm really sorry about but once you know what I have for you today I'm sure you'll forgive me,its a Do-It-Yourself Diva ring light!
As we all know a ring light cost so much,and for someone on a budget you have to improvise,make do with what you have,I decided to challenge myself to create one thanks to a youtuber "just Mels"and several searches on the google. Here is what I came up with,
Almost done here though I'm yet to get a stand for it.

I'm sure I don't have to say much about these amazing creation of mine the only thing I learnt the hard way about this project was that in d YouTube videos it wasn't mentioned that the lights in d rope are in different directions so you have to really work hard to twist the rope so the lights face you(I was done early so the ring light wasn't bright )I had to start again (so sad)! But at d end it came through.
All you need with this is
10M Christmas ring light
Zip tie(here in Nigeria we call it cable tie)
Blade or something to cut the excess tie
A cartoon cut in circle(outer 8' inner6')
A foil paper (same for baking)
Paper Tape
Finally an 8' wreath I had to ask a welder to make one for me
First of all remove the cable of d ring light then zip tie the rope around the wreath pls remember the bulbs should face outside (towards you) once you are done!cut the excess cable tie,cut your carton in a circular shape using your wreath to measure it,then cut your foil paper into 6' wide like 12 of them and wrap your carton around overlapping,once you are done cable tie the wreath to the carton and plug back your cable Shikenan!!!(finish). I do hope you try this out it will save you lots of money and also get similar effect!
Let me know what you think,and May God bless you.
