hmmmmmm that's a challenge. If your house is anything like mine it can be 
done....but "Normal" people don't have the things that most of us have 
laying about the house. Let's see......

1. Try a party-cup-cap. They only require some HDPE cups and someting to put 
them in.

Look around you house for the following.

Dialectric:
Beer Bottles
Mason Jars
Plate Glass

Cap Containers:
An old aquarium
A plastic Bucket
Tupperware Containers (big ones)

Corona Suppression:

Motor Oil
Castor Oil
Mazola Oil
Vegetable Oil


Conductors:

Wire Coat Hangars
Scrap Wire
Nomex Wire
Aluminum Foil

Electrolytes:

Table Salt
Epsom Salt
Pedialyte (VERY expensive, but I hear it works....waste of money though)
Almost ANY type of Salt will work.
Even tap water (Especially well water) WILL work....just poorly.


Don't even THINK of using a Pringle's Can, they are conductive.



Get creative. Neccesity is a mother, but you'd be amazed what people come up 
with.
