1. Can we use normal paper instead of coffee filters?

While regular paper can work, coffee filters absorb colors better and create a delicate, translucent effect that looks beautiful when hung in windows.

2. How long will these suncatchers last?

With proper care, these ghosts can last for a long time, but exposure to direct sunlight may fade the colors over time.

3. What can we use instead of markers?

If you don't have markers, liquid watercolors or fabric dye can produce similar tie-dye effects with a slightly different finish.

4. Can I use this technique for other shapes?

Absolutely! Use the same method to create other festive shapes like stars or flowers.
