Make paper bag luminaries with cut-out designs, or try using vinyl stickers. The bag can easily be folded and glued or taped together. Use a scoring tool with the Cricut to make folding the bag even easier. Once assembled, illuminate with a battery-powered tealight (or any LED and a coin cell battery).
