Make a Fog Machine for Your Party for $5 [Video]

Hosting a Halloween party? You don't have to go to Guitar Center and drop fifty bucks on a fog machine; if you're on a budget, you can cobble together a good-enough fog machine using a large candle, an aluminum pie plate, a soda bottle top, a gallon of distilled water, and a small bottle of glycerin.

The video above from YouTube user Household Hacker gives all the details: mix a solution of one part glycerin to three parts distilled water?this is your fog juice. You should be able to find glycerin at 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 our MacGuyver'd version is also one-tenth the price.
