Red on Apr 03, 2016Last Hallow'een, we forgot what day it was, and had to quickly get something together, when we got our first visitor and realized our transgression. We cut Jac o' lantern faces into oatmeal boxes, a couple of 6 and 9" cube shaped boxes we had, and a couple of brown paper bags. then I put some HD aluminum foil into each "pumpkin" as a reflective liner, added tea lights on saucers, and put them along the path to our door. In the dark, all you see is the light shining out of the cut-outs. They looked greatHelpful Reply
