What materials can I use instead of cardboard?

You could use foam board or even thick paper if you prefer a different texture or weight.

How long should the paint dry before adding more?

It’s best to let each layer dry for at least 30 minutes to an hour to avoid smudging.

Are these decorations suitable for outdoor use?

If you plan to display them outdoors, consider sealing them with a clear spray sealant to protect against moisture.

Can I use real flowers in my designs?

While real flowers can add charm, they may not last through the celebrations; consider faux ones for durability.
