Need a fog machine for your Halloween party? In the video by YouTube user Household Hacker you can make one for a few bucks and save yourself the money that you would have spent if you have gone to somewhere like a hire centre to get one.

All you need to make one is a large candle, an aluminum pie plate, a soda bottle top, a gallon of distilled water, and a small bottle of glycerin.

Homemade Fog Machine

To make the fog juice mix a solution of one part glycerin to three parts distilled water. Glycerin is available from your local pharmacy for a few bucks, but it’s also available on Amazon.

For the fog machine itself cut the top off a 2-liter soda bottle and tape to a small aluminum pie plate. Place this on top of a lit candle (a large one with multiple wicks is best) and add a teaspoon or so of fog juice, which should be enough to fill the room.

When you want more fog you’ll have to pour in another teaspoon of fog juice. This is less convenient than a commercial fog machine, but it is also a lot cheaper.
