Odd question
Ok so this is an odd question, but does anyone have any ideas on how to attach an aida design to wood?
See I saw these adorable name tags with bunnies on them in the world of cross stitching (The front cover had somebunny on it, so I HAD to buy it), and I thought to myself "Those would make great bunny tags on the buns hutch" So now I want to make them, with the buns names and put them on the door of the buns hutch...but don't know how to attach them.

Could you mount them in acrylic name tags or key rings (or fridge magnets)? That would mean you would be gluing (or whatever) the name tag and not the stitching.

I saw at my Michaels store a glue that you could use to attach most anything to wood but as I don't use wood for my stitching I can not remember the name of it. I don't know when I will have a chance to get to the store again but I will try to remember to look when I do.
Have you tried googling wood glues and reading what they say about different ideas for attaching things. You may have to google attaching glues rather then wood glues though as wood glues usually mean attaching wood to wood.

If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror
I did two little boxes for the tombola at my school's annual ball, one with cross stitch and the other with my first and only blackwork piece on top. (Forgot to take pictures )
I used a very simple glue I bought in a hobby craft shop, which is good for wood, leather, paper and textile, and it creates a thin colourless film, so it doesn't show through the fabric.
It has no brand name, it only says "hobby glue". But I am sure you can find something similar to order on the internet.

I suck at googling. I was hoping someone here would know the answer, but if not it doesn't matter. I'll just ask my dad next time I see him and in hobbycraft.
My dad works with glues a lot and has been my dad for twenty years, so he can find me a glue, or alternate method to attach almost anything. But I don't see him often anymore.
