Can I use regular markers or do they need to be special ones?

Washable markers work best for the chroma-bleed effect because they blend well with water.

How do I store my finished flowers?

Keep your completed flowers in a vase or a cool, dry place to maintain their shape and color.

Can I make these flowers in different sizes?

Absolutely! You can use larger coffee filters or stack more filters together for bigger blooms.

What's the best way to clean up after this craft?

Since it can get messy, simply use damp cloths to wipe down surfaces and dispose of any paper towels used.
