It’s much easier than faffing around with vacuums. Take the metal foot and case off a tea light. Light the tea light, place on suitable saucer in microwave. Nuke. Plasma. Useless plasma, but plasma nonetheless.

It's even easier than that, if you can get your hands on carbon fiber. Microwaving any piece of carbon fiber will immediately give you very unstable and very useless plasma.
