Do you need an easy Christmas decoration? Try making luminaries! (You probably have everything you need to make them already.) For these super easy to make luminaries, you will need:
- A glass jar. (DM Tip: I used a spaghetti jar. Make sure you wash the jar out and remove the labels.)
- Thumb tack/push pin
- Aluminium foil
- Cardboard
Directions:
1. Cut a piece of foil to your desired height and length. I liked a little of the jar showing at the top and bottom, so I cut a smaller piece of foil.
2. Lay the foil on the piece of cardboard. Try not to wrinkle the foil.
3. Use your push pin to create the design. I have a few stencils below if you need ideas.
4. Carefully peel the foil off of the cardboard.
6. Insert tea candle or votive candle, light, and enjoy!
NOTE: The glass jars can get hot, so keep away from little hands!
DM Tip: LED candles make this a safer decoration.

I spent a weekend with my niece and nephew and they are both the messiest kids ever. Anyway my sister and brother-in-law went away and left me with them. I went on google to look for some stencils we could use to make a mixed media christmas picture and I found this website. We spent about 2 hours making 5 of these each and they are now going to be mum and dads christmas presents. Thankyou for the brilliant fun time filler!!! :)
