13. Ghost Luminary Walkway

Glowing ghost luminaries lining a front walkway at night

Guide trick-or-treaters to your door with a runway of glowing ghost luminaries: white paper bags, simple marker faces, a scoop of sand, an LED tea light. The walkway glows, the ghosts grin, and kids follow the trail like a treasure map. Space bags two feet apart on both sides.

What You’ll Need

  • 10-14 white paper lunch bags
  • Black marker
  • LED tea lights (one per bag)
  • Play sand
  • Scissors (optional, for scalloped edges)

How to Make

  1. Draw a simple ghost face on each bag.
  2. Pour an inch of sand into the bottom of every bag.
  3. Drop in an LED tea light and switch on.
  4. Line both sides of the walkway, two feet apart.
  5. Dim the porch light so the luminaries steal the show.
