Last Minute Christmas Paper Craft - Pricked Paper Christmas Luminaries

If you need a last minute table decoration, you can quickly and easily alter straight glasses, such as whisky glasses, into festive luminaries with just paper and bit of washi tape. The advantage of this project is once Christmas is over, you can remove the paper and use the glasses again as usual.

Illustrated Craft Tutorial:

Pricked Paper Luminaries Tutorial 1
1. First measure the height and circumference of your glass. Cut as many sheets of red translucent paper and white constuction paper as you have in glasses. You will cut the exact height of the glass plus the circumference of the glass with an centimeter extra in overlap. In this case, 3 glasses were made so 3 strips of each paper was cut.

2. Then mark a line about 3.5 centimeters down the length of the paper. The area below this line will not be pricked.

3. Then use a pencil and draw the shapes in the area above the 3.5 centimeter line. On 1 centimeter of each short side, do not make any marks. This is the area that will overlap once you wrap the glass with the paper.

4. Use the larger needle or pricking needle to prick the outer edges of the shapes.

5. If you have a smaller or thinner needle, poke smaller holes on the shape. This side you are working on is the side that will face the glass afterwards. Once you have finished, you can erase the pencil marks.
