I’m contributing over at Craftzine today with a fun crafty project for lighting up Halloween night. These Paper Bag Luminaries lead the path to some scary tricks and yummy treats!

great idea! Cute way to light the path to your door!
Very pretty and spooky at the same time!
I like your luminaries! Recently, I saw turkey luminaries in Family Fun Magazine and was thinking about adapting for Halloween. These luminaries had tissue paper covering the cut-outs. I thought that pumpkins would be be cute.
Take Care!

They look great, awesome night photos!
Thanks for the great idea, I am always looking for some fun new things to do with the kids. If my kids and I make these, do you care if I post them on my blog, of course with your link and info? All credit to you? Email me and let me know.
Kristin – Of course you can do these and post about them, and I’d love a link back. Thanks for asking. Have fun crafting.
Thanks so much for the terrific idea. I made up a whole bunch over the weekend. Mine aren’t as nifty as yours, but I had fun. I confess I got tired of cutting things out, (and I had no appropriate stickers) so I started using the pin prick method to frame the designs and let a little light shine through This worked really well for outlining a pumpkin and allowing me to cut out a face to make both friendly and scary jack o’ lanterns. Thanks again. :)
