1. How long do the butterfly wings take to dry?

The wings may take several hours to dry completely, so it's best to leave them overnight for optimal results.

2. Can I use regular glitter instead of edible glitter?

While regular glitter can be used for displays, it is not safe for edible items or if the wings will be handled by small children.

3. What type of food coloring works best?

Any liquid food coloring works well, but gel food coloring might give a more vibrant hue.

4. Can I use other items for the wing frames?

Yes! You can use sturdy cardboard or cutout shapes from plastic to create the frames for the wings.
