diy wax luminaries

Forget glass votives, this is the perfect way to get a moody glow going at your reception.  All you need is parafin wax from the grocery store (in the canning aisle), balloons and an old pan to melt down your wax.  Fill your balloon with water to size, dip in melted wax to desired thickness, and pop the balloon.  See the full tutorial over at Dollar Store Crafts.
