By Ruthie Livingston


When an upcoming holiday is about to be celebrated, you are recommended to find decorations that are worth decorating your house with. Nowadays, numerous classic holiday decorations are available for people to choose from. You can pick one or two great additions to the home exterior when you choose the right decoration.

There is no need for you to spend a hefty sum just to acquire the said decoration. Even if you create one yourself, you should be able to enjoy a great accessory for this upcoming holiday celebration. A good example of what product one can make on your own would be the luminary candles. It is one of the easy-to-do arts and crafts project.

In the creation of this product, you got to prepare the right materials. The materials must be prepared beforehand so that the work becomes smoother. You will be able to complete the said project when you prepare the materials such as the long burning votive candle, white paper bags, long lighter, and sand.

Consider where you will be placing the merchandise next. This is so that one can measure the area ahead of time. If you plan to have closely placed luminaries, then consider making one for every foot distance. In the case when one wants to put more spacing in between, put one luminary every two feet.

For the white paper bags, it is required for you to find the lunch-sized ones. These are the ideal size for the said project. Be sure to unfold the paper bags and have the openings turned over for a minimum of one inch. This way, the bags become more stable for your use. Proceed to the next step once this is done.

Prepare your sand. You are required to fill a bag with two inches of this material to make it withstand the breeze. Two inches or cups should be good enough to placed inside this bag. If you do not have sand, then on could use kitty litter as an alternative. However, use three instead of two inches or cups when placing it inside the bag.

Once you have placed enough inside, you will then have to bring this bag outside. This is so that you could position it at the right place where you have decided to put it beforehand. Position a bag in the spot where you want it to be. You could then light this up when night comes.

Adding the candle is the last step to take when doing this craft. Nestle the candle into the sand or the kitty litter. After that, take your long lighter to light up this candle. There are cases when one does not have the long lighter. As an alternative, you just need to light up the candle before placing them right inside the bag.

The luminaries are the best decorations to have when you plan to make your exterior look amazing. These can be used to line up the sidewalk and driveway. Welcoming guests with each of these decorations should bring out the best feel for the holiday. These can definitely make the celebration more fun and amazing.
