This was my first time doing something like this and I got to tell you it feels good. Good because instead of buying a $400 Ring Flash, I came up with one for only $19.26. That’s right! I ended up going to Lowe’s and grabbed everything I needed for my DIY Ring Flash. Here’s the list:

– Plastic terra-cotta planter
– Two 3″ PVC couplings
– Glue
– Metal tape
– Black spray paint

Also used some cardboard from a diaper box I had at home (thanks to my son for pooping so much :D ) and went to Michael’s to get some translucent paper. (scrap book section FYI)
The whole thing took me about 1 1/2 hours to complete and the results were amazing. It requires some cutting so careful out there with that razor blade. :) You want to finish the project with all your piggies still attached to your hands.
I was so excited that I forgot to take pictures of the entire process. Yes, MY BAD. But if you have any questions shoot it over and I’ll try my best to answer it ASAP.
