Nothing to make a great entrance, Sothern Living suggestion is to use brilliant array of paper luminaries “Line them along front walks, driveways, and porches for a fiery Christmas display that’s so simple (and affordable) to pull off. To create your own gleaming arrangement, generously cover the bottom of white paper bags with sand, which will keep them sturdy and stationary when exposed to the elements. Arrange bags in desired positions (the luminaries lining the walk above at left all 2 feet apart), and then insert tea lights or battery-operated LEDs”.
