  1. Hello

    Did regular white glue work for this project or did you need a glue gun to make the accessories stick?  Thanks!

    1. The Best Ideas for Kids

      Hot glue will always work best but for younger kids you can use glue dots or an extra strong craft glue (like tacky glue) which works on buttons and pom poms.

    2. Deborah ONeal

      I definitely did better with a glue gun. Regular Elmer’s glue is fine for the cotton parts.
