Tuesday Tutorial - Luminaries

In the warmer months we all tend to spend more time outdoors, so let's make our outdoor living space more attractive with some handmade luminaries.

These adorable luminaries are made from water balloons and wax. They look fairly easy to make too. Instructions can be found at... www.candletech.com




This tutorial is a little more involved that the above ones, but the results are wonderful. Find out how to make the luminaries shown below at www.modpodgerocksblog.com




This example below is made for Halloween, but I'm thinking if you used other colors, you could use it any time of the year. The tutorial can be found at www.thelongthread.com


Hope you're inspired to try your hand at making some luminaries. Enjoy your summer!
