30 Halloween Luminaries to Light Up the Night

I absolutely love Halloween, and making Halloween luminaries is something I try to do every year. You can certainly make lanterns any time of year, but there's just something special about things that glow during Halloween!

There are all sorts of materials that can serve as lanterns or luminaries. Can you think of anything around your house that could light up the night? Here are a few ideas:

  • Glass and plastic jars
  • Paper bags
  • Small pumpkins
  • Tin cans
  • Plastic jugs and bottles
  • Baby food jars
  • Paper cups

Safety note: instead of candles, try LED tea lights, which make a great alternative to real flames!
