I don't think you could really make a plasma ball without pretty sophisticated laboratory or industrial equipment. You'll need to fill a glass vessel with gases, then place a smaller ball inside to act as an electrode, seal it tightly, and then drive it with a high frequency alternating current at high voltage. It's just not the sort of thing that can be done as a student project.

Buy a heap of food, drink and party stuff; hire a venue; then invite all the little plasmas to a dance party. That's a plasma ball!
