How to Make a Dry Ice Fountain!

Today I was just fooling around with dry ice and I thought that the dry ice vapor combined with water could make a fountain. But now I present you with... The Dry Ice Water Fountain v.1.0! 

P.S. This is my first Instructable.(Yay!)

Get Your Supplies

A length of threaded PVC that sticks out about 6" from the top of the bottle
A shrub sprinkler head
A 2 liter bottle
A screwdriver
Some Dry Ice

Disassemble Your Sprinkler Head

First, twist the top off. You should have 3 parts, the body, the grate thingy, and the head. You will notic a screw in the head; take the screw out and put it in your parts bin. You should also remove the grate thingy.

Reassemble Your Sprinkler Head

Screw the top back on and screw the entire sprinkler onto the threaded piece of PVC pipe

Prepping the Bottle

The Finale

Now for the fun bit, take your PVC pipe and shove it down until it is almost touching the bottom, and...stand back! ( Unless you want to chill off on a hot summer day, that also fine)
