New Brighton, MN ~ Ramsey County





Fill a 5 gallon bucket with water and set outside.  Leave it outside for a day or two depending on how cold it is.





Bring inside to warm it up for 10-15 minutes to loosen if from the bucket.




Gently slide the luminary out of the bucket.






It will be a block of ice that is still not frozen in the middle.





The ice on the top (or what used to be the bottom of the bucket) will be thin, so bash a hole in the top with whatever you have around.  In my case, a hockey stick.





Dump out the water.





Put a candle in it!
