Thanksgiving Themed Luminarias

My mother-in-law is great at decorating for family get togethers. I love her use of luminaries to light up the path going to the house in the evening. So this super cool Thanksgiving themed project is for her.

lunch sized paper bags
white, yellow, red, orange tissue paper
scissors
glue stick
LED tea light

How to do the project:
1. Cut out a circle as a guide to cut a slightly larger circle from the white tissue paper.

2. Cut skinny triangles of red, orange, and yellow tissue paper for the feathers, and cut two wing shapes from red tissue paper. Use a glue stick to affix the feathers and wings on the the tissue paper circle.

3. Cut a turkey body from the brown paper circle, then glue it to the center of the tissue paper collage. Line the edge of the bag’s circular hole with more glue, then lay the collage circle on top.

4. Fill bag with an inch of sand or rocks and place LED tea light inside, and they are ready to go.
