1. Can I use other types of paper?

Absolutely! While coffee filters are ideal because of their absorbency and transparency, you can experiment with other thin paper types.

2. Will the colors fade if placed in direct sunlight?

Yes, over time, colors may fade. For longer-lasting results, display them in places with a little indirect sunlight.

3. Can the suncatchers get wet?

Try to keep them dry as the colors may run if they come into contact with water again after drying.

4. How can I hang the suncatchers?

Use string or thin ribbon tied to the top of the ghosts. You can also use suction cup hooks for easy hanging.

5. What kind of markers work best?

Washable markers are preferred since they'll blend beautifully but you can try other types as long as they're water-soluble.

6. Can we use other designs instead of ghosts?

Certainly! Feel free to create any shape you like, such as butterflies or flowers, to suit the occasion.
