This simple DIY project lets you make mason jar luminaries from three items. A mason jar, tissue paper, and a battery powered votive candle.

Simply line the mason jars with your favorite tissue paper to coordinate with your wedding colors and add the votive. Use them to line the church aisle or for outdoor weddings to mark the aisle or along the side of your aisle runner.

These luminaries are perfect for outdoor weddings, especially weddings on the beach or in a park. It gives a burst of color and light and adds some design to it. These are an EEEBCDI project. For new readers that means 'easy enough even Bill can do it' which means I had my husband who is very un-crafty try it, and he had no problem pulling it all together. So for the un-crafty bride this is a perfect project.

 

 

DIY Metallic Quatrefoil Luminaries

Photo and Creation by Stephanie Lynn

 

Love this luminary created using a Silhouette machine and some spray paint. To get the look you do need the Silhouette machine. I've seen some on other sites though that used a pre-cut piece of paper as the stencil. So if you don't have a Silhouette already, it might be worth looking for some paper you can use as a stencil instead of investing in the Silhouette. (Yes, I want one too, but... expensive!)

 

You can make these metallic quatrefoil design in a variety of colors and you could even use a different design. The tutorial can be found on this By Stephanie Lynn link.
