Cutting and Fitting the Luminaries
Displaying Luminaries
Once you've finished your luminaries, space them evenly along your pathway, sidewalk or driveway to light your home for any holiday or festive occasion. It’s easy to make more if you need to line a larger area. These luminaries should last for many events, but if any screens become damaged or jars break, they’re easy to replace. Pack the luminaries carefully for storage to avoid breakage. You may want to disassemble them and store the screen separately to keep it from becoming damaged or crushed.
