If you have a hand at crafts/electronics, or simply have extra patience, this isn't a terribly difficult thing to do. This Website gives step by step details on how to build a 'poor man's ring light.'
Note that these are not strobes, as you may find for sale from places like B&H. They are a macro ring light version of hot lights - they stay on the entire time while you're shooting. LED's however, put out a lot of light, so there are few disadvantages to doing this, other than reduced working hours before having to switch batteries.
