How long does it take for the salt to dry?

Typically, the salt should dry within a few hours, but best results come from allowing it to sit overnight.

Can I use other types of glue?

While white school glue works well, hot glue is another option for a stronger hold, especially if you're adding heavier decorations.

What should I do if my colors bleed?

If colors bleed into one another too much, you can try using less water when applying the food coloring, or let each layer dry completely before applying the next.

Is this project safe for young children?

Yes, but adult supervision is recommended, especially with scissors or when using small parts.
