Tips:    

• Use white glue, it dries clear. 

• Once the entire pattern is stuck, rewash it with a little bit of watered down glue to help reinforce.

• Color it after its glued well and dry, use bright gold or bright popping ones!

•  For a difficult surface, spray paint would work better, specially with tricky twisted pasta (tree above!)

•  Be sure to get your twine or ribbon in! You can hot glue it too.
