    Me i have to make a in door cloth hanger so i can hang dry them. make sure if indoor to put down a plastic sheet under the hang pages. they dry fast. like 20 to 30 mins or less. some dye sheets need to dye twice. so wait to dry then dye again. some darker dyes you don't have to.

    blue i didn't have to and green and yellow i have two. so you have to play around. if you don't want to do dye i like it because it cleaner looking. but you can use water paint. and paint the paper but water down the paint.
