fake campfire- where is mylar idea??

[debbie5]

I cannot find any fake campfire thread that has that mylar-in-the-ashes-to-reflect-the light how-to..I read it a while ago...does anyone have it bookmarked & can send me the link, please??

Fontgeek mentions it in your thread here:

There's no link to another thread with a how to, though.

Hmmmm... thanks. I still would love to see a pic...do they put the mylar UNDER the lights?? Scrunched around?? Hmm...

Typically, the Mylar is mounted above the lights, or next to the lights, with fans blowing from beneath to elevate and wiggle the "flames". For "coals" , you could use mylar below the lights if you wanted to, but you may find just using aluminum foil crumpled up a bit will be easier to get and work with. If you want to have the coals and the flames, you can use both materials, or even use them along with day-glo/blacklight orange and red paints on the foil or bottom surface to help push the effect.

Here the how-to for the glowing coals effect. It is suggested that you can put foil under the lights to make it brighter.
I think Beeice did a fire basket too.
