Light Up Luminaries

I remember helping my mom line our walkway with these plain ol’ paper bags that transform into lanterns come nightfall. It’s a classic and super easy way to decorate your front yard for Halloween and guide trick-or-treaters to your door.

 

What You’ll Need:

 

Enough paper bags—white, brown or orange—to line the path to your front door, driveway or sidewalk.

 

Kitty litter or sand to weigh down the bags

 

1 votive candle for every paper bag

 

A lighter or matches

 

What You’ll Do:

 

Set up paper bags in the area you want to illuminate. Pour an inch or two of litter or sand in the bottom of the bags, then place a candle in the center of the bag, pressing it firmly into the litter/sand. At dusk, have your parent or older sib light each candle using matches or a lighter. Enjoy the pretty glow knowing that you’re the one behind the magic.
