We are once again featuring the flexibility and luminosity of our .010″ Thick Fleece Back Sheets. We have the instructions below how to make these adorable Real Wood Paper Luminaries.
Below you will find step by step instructions on how to make your own Wooden Paper Luminaries. For this project, we used the Cherry .010″ Thick Long Grain Fleece Back 8.5″ x 11″ sheet and Aspen .010″ Thick Long Grain Fleece Back 8.5″ x 11″ sheet.
You will yield 5 cut pieces per 8.5″ x 11″ sheet of Real Wood Paper Fleece Back. You will need 2 sheets of Real Wood Paper to complete this project.

Real Wood Paper Luminaries are complete! Well done friends!
If you want to illuminate them, just insert one of those battery powered tea lights you can get in a multi pack at the dollar store. To hang them, we used fishing line and taped one end on the inside of the luminary and out through the center hole.
