I love luminarias!
Especially when I can
make a lot for little or no expense!
Usually we throw cans away.
How about if we collect a lot and make them
into something that
will light up our life?
Clean the can and make sure there are no sharp edges.
Then draw a design on it with a marker.
It does not have to be a
complicated design!
Fill up the can with ice and freeze it.
Then with a hammer and ice pick,
punch holes along the lines of your design.
Do it fast, because if the ice melts,
the can will get distorted when you
bang on it!
I used alcohol inks to color the luminaria.
But you don't really have to color it.
But you don't really have to color it.
Put candles inside and light it up!
Use the luminarias to light up a sidewalk
that leads to a party!
You can also put leaves around it to
decorate a table or window ledge.
Where else can we use our luminarias?
