I like Aleen's Tacky Glue for smaller stuff. Those trees are so cute! Maybe I'll remember them for next year.

I love spray paint. My glue suggestion when working with kids is Aleen's Tacky Glue. ( http://www.save-on-crafts.com/alortacglu.html ) I have used it so many times over the years in scouts and Children's Ministry. The trick is to squeeze some out into a small paper cup and let it sit for 15-30 minutes. The paper cup wicks some of the water out and it starts to get even tackier-then use toothpicks to dab it. Also try to convince the kids that less is more because it dries faster that way. OOH…If I had been there with you I am sure that Bethany would have had some very handsome silver patio furniture!

I've used it. It works. Once it is used - nothing is moving. :) I think I'd get a kick out of spray painting silver too! My mom, the goddess of all things stuck together, swears by E5000 glue.
