Creating a Fog Effect with Dry Ice

Gather Your Supplies

You will need dry ice, a large, heat-resistant container, and hot water. For safety, you should also have a pair of gloves and goggles.

Prep the Container

Place your container in the desired location for the fog effect. Ensure it's stable and safe from being knocked over.

Add the Dry Ice

Wearing your gloves and goggles, carefully add the dry ice to the container.

Create the Fog

Slowly pour hot water over the dry ice. The heat of the water will cause the dry ice to sublimate and create a thick, low-lying fog.

Maintain the Effect

To keep the fog effect going, add more hot water and dry ice as needed. Always handle the dry ice with gloves to avoid burns.
