Luminarias
 

How To Create Stamped Luminarias  

Luminaries are paper bag candle holders that are often used to decorate driveways or patios during the festive season or parties. Luminaries are traditionally made from paper bags that have had a pattern punched or pricked out of the paper. The candle light illuminates the paper and light from the candle twinkles through the holes. 

It is very simple to make your own luminary from craft paper. This is an ideal way to make your own customized luminaries using colored paper and decorated using your favorite rubber stamps. The stamped image forms a silhouette against the back lit paper background. Luminaries can be made in any size or with any colored paper.

Paper luminaries are more for decoration than functionality and should never be left unattended. The bottom of the luminary should be weighted down with sand. Protect that candle further by popping it into a glass jar or candle holder before placing it inside the luminary.

This luminary pattern has a fold over at the top which adds to the stability of the luminary. The luminary pattern is square, therefore the base and the sides are the same dimension. If you would like a different shape, simply customize the dimensions.

Material Required 
Craft paper (approximately 29 inches by 16 inches) or simply purchase lunch bags premade
Rubber stamps - bold stamped impressions give the most dramatic results 
Ink 
A paper pricker or small hole punch 
A piece of 7 by 7 inch card for the base or sand about 2 inches (a piece of scrap card is fine as this won't be seen)
Tea light candles 
 

Illustrations
for creating luminarias

Illus #1

This project was created using handmade paper bags and a solid stamped image. 
 
 

ILLUS #2

Stamp and decorate the luminary as desired. (2 sides or all 4 sides.) In the Southwest, we use these paper lites for christmas decorations to line sidewalks and driveways.... however they are just as dramatic on Halloween night.
 
 
 

ILLUS #3

Draw a square bow with a pen, markers or dark pencil and a ruler.  Pricking out a design or punching shapes out of the luminary will allow the candle light to shine through. Use a proper paper pricker or improvise with a darning needle to prick out a pattern. Put the paper onto craft foam or another soft surface, such as an old newspaper, to help protect the work surface below. 
 
 
 

ILLUS #4
Cut a square of card to go into the base of the luminary, this will give it added strength. The tope folded over gives the bag a little more stability.

To use the luminary, add a couple of inches of sand, gravel or even cat litter to give weight to the luminary and to stop it from blowing over. Place a tea light into a glass candle holder and place into the luminary. Use the luminary to light a driveway or to give added atmosphere to an outdoor or night time party. 

Try a Christmas theme stamped image for Holidays Parties and delight your guests. 
Never leave luminaries unattended. Be careful with children near lite bags.
