I am making snowflakes from coffee stir sticks for work decorations.
Would like to attach some tiny rock chips to some.
What is the best glue to use for this?

Photos show some of the snowflakes in progress and what I have for rock chips. Have many more bags of these chips. The chips are a lot lighter than in photos. Mostly clear quartz, with some colored ones.

The snowflakes will be hung via suction cup hangers in windows between brewery and tap house. There are lights above the windows.
Thought the chips would be a nice addition and sparkle in the low lighting.

Thanks.

Listen to the rock. The rock knows its destiny. It will guide you in fulfilling that.

Will try that on a small sample and see if it dries clear.

Did a sample piece using hot melt and craft glue. Ended up using the hot melt on these. Might use the craft glue on the smaller ones. They will just have the stone chips in either the center or on the ends.
