I absolutely love using homemade luminaries for my holiday crafting. These are perfect to light up a walk way, place next to a candy bowl outside, or even put on display in your home!

If you are planning on placing your Sugar Skull luminary outside, make sure to seal it using an outdoor sealant otherwise your temporary tattoo or SVG may degrade.
