My brother gave me an incredible gift of a Murder mystery miniature and I have a quick question for those that have worked on miniature houses before.
What glue is best to adhere the paper to the wood? I am sure this is not a standard situation, but for my first part I have to adhere some cardstock paper to the wood base, they included a glue stick, is that going to be sufficient or is there something different I could get at HL?

I used my scrapbooking gun glue, like Tombo or ATG. You do not want to use glue with water as the paper will warp.

I like to use spray adhesive. It won't warp and it's easy to use (well, as long as you have some newspaper or something to put down first--it's very tacky and the spray drifts).

I have an embellishment glue stick and Elmers and scotch (I think.) scotch makes a good glue stick it’s called scotch creat permanent glue stick ( def avoid the removable one ) But I say that as a papercrafter not a miniaturist |
