ABSTRACT:
A luminaria frame comprises supports and braces, where each support has upstanding legs, and each brace defines spaced leg apertures. When each brace is assembled with the supports, a leg of each support is placed in the leg apertures of the brace. The other brace has the other legs of each support placed in the leg apertures of the other brace. The supports and braces thereby form a unified framework in which the supports and braces are movable relative to each other such that the framework collapses for storage and expands to hold a bag about the framework to form a luminaria with a candle placed, as desired, inside. As a result of this construction, the frame requires assembly only once, and otherwise requires only movement of the supports and braces relative to each other to change from a compact and collapsed storage positioning of the supports and braces, to an expanded usage positioning of the supports and braces. As preferred, the supports are twin U supports and the braces are twin braces.
