Create a spooky Halloween party space by lining your home's walkway with glowing luminaries. To create the decor, wash an empty gallon-size milk bottle with warm, soapy water and allow it to thoroughly dry. Cut the top off of the bottle using a craft knife. Cover the bottles with glow-in-the-dark acrylic paint. Use green paint to transform the bottles into Frankenstein faces or orange to create Jack-o'-Lantern-inspired decor. Fill the bottoms of the bottles with sand and nestle tea lights inside.

Christmas Luminaries

Welcome guests into your home during the Christmas season with handmade milk bottle luminaries, which you can place on your front steps or porch. Use silver or gold acrylic paint and stencils to decorate the bottles with enchanting snowflake or star designs. As another idea, use paint to create snowman or Santa Claus faces on the bottles. Place tea lights inside the luminaries to set your festive artwork aglow.

Garden Luminaries

If you like to host summer evening get-togethers in your backyard or on a patio, enhance the outdoor space with glowing, garden-inspired luminaries. Use vibrantly colored acrylic paint and stencils to decorate milk bottles with bird, flower, insect, fairy or vine patterns for everything from an elegant to a whimsical look. Place the luminaries around the patio or line them up along a garden pathway.

Themed Luminaries

Draw a birthday party theme together with decorative milk bottle tea light luminaries, which will also add a soft glow to the celebration space. If you're hosting a beach-themed bash, paint seashell, seahorse and starfish designs on the bottles. If the party features a zoo theme, decorate the luminaries with giraffe, elephant, lion and monkey patterns. Classic birthday party designs, including cakes, candles, and "Happy Birthday" messages, will work for any type of celebration.
