Old pots overflowing with fog always look good, so I made this prop on the morning of Halloween.
This ultrasonic mister runs from 24V DC.
They are available on eBay for about $5 – $7.
I chose one without LEDs.
I did attempt to make a bed of glowing coals for the cauldron, but failed big time.
The foam didn’t expand very well at all so I wiped most of it off.
So I went up to the park at the end of my street and grabbed some sticks.
The effect from the red and orange LEDs looked surprisingly good at night.
I wanted to add green LEDs under the water but ran out of time on the day.
The updated version for 2016 (finished the day before).
A single high brightness 5mm green LED light the fog.
It was secured in place just above the max water line.
A skeleton frog (bent with a heat gun) hangs over the edge.
Is he escaping or just enjoying a relaxing bath?
For 2016 I added a green LED just under the fog line as well as bubbling sounds.
