Allow to dry completely and then glue the pebble to the top of the roof in the center with another dab of white glue.

6. To make a neat backing to your house, put a generous amount of gluestick all over the back side of the house and glue down the the wrong side of one of the Jenni Bowland papers. Trim around the shape of your house.
