Rainbow Labyrinth

Use 16 oz. opaque deli containers covered with one layer of tissue paper plastered on with watered down white glue (it dries clear). For the 5-circuit labyrinth with a 20 foot centre we used xx red, xx orange, xx yellow, xx green, xx turquoise, xx blue, xx purple, xx violet. Fill them 1/3 full with sand and sit a tea-lite in the centre. This is a LOT of candles to light so have at least 6 people on it. And if it is windy, beware, you will be busy! But it is beautiful. If you can afford xxxxxx lights, it may be the way to go. Let us know. Children love to jump the lanterns but don’t panic – the minute they are knocked off balance, the tea-lights drown themselves, or the sand dowses the flame.

Pumpkin path, other large vegetables, wine bottles, lavender plants, snow mounds, solar lights, Christmas lights, rope, traffic cones, food (cans, boxes, etc. as Kay Kinneavy did for a food bank in Portland OR.)
