Can I use regular paper instead of watercolor paper?

While you can, watercolor paper is recommended for the best color transfer and durability.

What if I want to change the colors later?

You can layer on more tissue paper over the existing design, or simply create a new piece if you're looking for a completely different look.

Can I use a different adhesive instead of Mod Podge?

Yes, any clear-drying craft glue can work, but Mod Podge is specifically made for sealing projects like this.

How long should I let it dry?

Dry time can vary based on conditions; typically, it's best to leave it undisturbed for at least several hours.

Is this project suitable for kids?

Absolutely! With adult supervision regarding supplies, this can be a fun and creative activity for children.
