Parchment paper wrapped around votive candles can create luminaries.

Parchment paper is a virtually transparent paper that can be used in a variety of craft projects that involve glue. It can be painted on, embossed, cut and reshaped by using steam from a low-temp iron. Once you have the desired shape and size you need, it is important to use the right kind of glue for your parchment paper. Glue sprays designed specifically for delicate papers, such as Perga Spray or 3M Spray Mount Spray Adhesive, are suggested. These non-staining sprays allow users to reposition the parchment without wrinkling the paper.
