Luminaria: Lighting the Way

    4 luminaries lit up on a black background

    Mixed-media artist Michelle Flamez shares techniques for creating luminiara—little lanterns often seen at Christmastime. 

    Michelle stamps scenes on thin, smooth, lightweight, translucent vellum, explaining that this paper is flexible, but stiff enough to stand up when taped into a cylinder. Learn how you, too, can create luminarias by following the artist’s simple instructions.
