HOW TO: Steel Wool Photography

50 37



Alex explains and demonstrates the unique art of steel wool photography, which captures eye-catching, fire-like images. This is a very easy photography project that can be accomplished using household items.

SUPPLIES:
Steel Wool Type 00:
$5 Wire Whisk:
$2 Dog Leash:
ABC Fire Extinguisher:
You can use any lighter or a 9-volt battery to light the steel wool.

If you attempt this, please do so responsibly and in an open area. It’s definitely a good idea to wear a hat and long sleeves to protect yourself from burns.
