One of the most iconic Halloween decorations ever is the steaming cauldron. This idea is also a very simple decoration that you can make at home, complete with dry ice effects! Just grab a decorative cauldron and place dry ice inside, then watch the fog spill out across your refreshment table. To add a little more of a spooky touch, set the cauldron on a bed of sticks with festive orange lights to create a small fire pit.
Spooky Punch Bowl
Using dry ice to create a festive punch bowl will have a similar effect to the cauldron decorations, with the added benefit of keeping your refreshments cool. Using a set of nesting bowls, place some dry ice in the outer bowl to keep the inner bowl cool. This way, you can serve punch from the inner bowl while the carbon dioxide fog spills out from the area between the bowls. You can make this punch bowl even more festive for your Halloween party by keeping it in a large, hollowed pumpkin.
Fog Bubbles
One way to add fun and interest to your festivities this Halloween is by creating fog bubbles using dry ice. These bubbles are an especially fun craft to make with kids or to add cool effects to your costume. Using an empty 2-liter bottle, some rubber hosing, dish soap, and dry ice, you can make spooky ghost-like fog bombs that will entertain guests and add festive energy to your party.
Jack O’Lanterns
Lastly, jack-o’-lanterns are some of the most fun fall decorations you can make. To add even more Halloween magic to your windows, tables, or front steps, put some dry ice in a shallow bowl in the bottom of your jack-o’-lantern. Pour a little water over the dry ice and keep the Halloween spirit alive all through October.
