How to create your luminary kits:
Please count the components to ensure that you have the correct number per kit:
10 tea lights
10 plastic containers with lids
10 white paper bags
10 double-sided foam tape squares
Please follow these instructions and light the candles by 5pm on Luminary Night.
1.) Remove the protective cover from each of the squares of tape and adhere to the bottom of tea candles, then to the center of each of the 10 lids
2.) Fill each plastic container about ¾ full of tap water; place the lid on each of the containers
3.) Insert each completed container in the white luminary bag
4.) Set the completed bags 5 to 8 feet apart on a nonflammable surface along your property, walkway, and/or driveway.
For safety, designate someone to monitor the burning luminaries. The tea candles will stay lit for 4-6 hours. Ensure that the luminaries are completely extinguished before disposing of them appropriately. If the weather is questionable, please visit our website at www.whjwc.org for updates throughout that day.
