Lumabase 41124 Brown Paper Luminaria Bags - 6"x9" Traditional Mexican Lanterns for Christmas, Weddings & Patio Decorations

These were bigger than I expected as the one’s purchased for Halloween (different maker) were much smaller. They are elegant looking tho. I use two automatic tealights because of the size. You definitely need to weigh them down with sand or pebbles. I initially only put out 3 to see how they faired, as we were expecting possible rain (AZ). One partially disintegrated from blowing over and getting pummeled with rain, the other two faired okay. But I wound up replacing all three with new ones. Not sure how they would fair in snowy weather. It seems the ones I had for Halloween might have had some kind of coating. These definitely don’t seem to. But they are pretty!Am recycling already put together bags. Simply need to get new candles. Sand and bags are still good!Put in big remote control candles. Cut out Halloween silhouettes to tape to the front. Perfect. Then afterward will use Christmas cutouts. Will be a nice addition to our front porch.Thick bags with nice pumpkin face, but does require the investment in a good quality tea light to bring out the design at night.I purchased these for a party. The material is thinner than expected but held up well in the winter weather. Very good value for the price. I received a lot of compliments.The bags arrived quickly. They are paper as expected, but they still are sturdy and with careful packing, can be used over and over again. I would buy this againGreat all season luminaries bag. I used this around an outdoor display on Christmas Eve and it was beautifulI really like these. They are sturdy enough for temporary use or repeatable use. Very fun to look at. A little bit dark, of course, because of the bag color so suggest to use a stronger candle than a wax tea light.Not a true luminaire.
