MINI 3D PRINTED FAROLITO LUMINARIA
A New Mexico holiday staple, this 3D printed mini farolito is a modern, playful take on the traditional paper sidewalk decoration. This version comes with a flameless LED candle and can be used to warm and decorate any home or business. These models come with slight variations, just like the real bags! They are approximately 3×2.5×1.5 (approximately 1/4 the size of a real paper bag farolito – please see photos for measurements).

HISTORY and APPLICATION of the FAROLITO
The farolito (or luminaria, depending on who you ask!) has been a holiday custom in New Mexico for generations. Formerly bonfires made of stacked piƱon branches, the traditional farolito is now a decorative paper bag weighed down with sand and illuminated by the inside from a candle’s flame. Residents and business owners line rows of farolitos down sidewalks, walls, and parapets as a way to welcome the holiday season.

I LOVE these little guys!! They are the perfect paper bag color and are just the cutest little touches of home in NM! The Tea Lights that are included flicker so nicely in the little bags! I ordered 6, but wish I had ordered more!

I ordered 24 to put around the house for decoration in the windows and mantels and my wife just loved them. They definitely add to the New Mexico Christmas feeling with the warm soft flicker of light they emit around the room.
