Hot melt glue (from a glue gun) is a quick and beginner-friendly option for this temporary project—offering instant bonding and easy removal.
If hot glue doesn't hold in your trial, switch to E6000 for the best balance of ease and strength.

Tips: Work slowly for accuracy.
Use small tools for detailed designs.

Safety: Be careful with sharp tools and hot tools.
Supervise kids.
