What would be the best glue to make a tiny stone house with rocks from the dollar store? Would it hold outside as well? Thanks for the help!

Use Loctite which is a epoxy glue for outdoors and dries clear.

I use EverBuild StixAll for all our fairy gardens. I'm not sure if it's available in the States though. It's tacky so the the stones will stay put which is a big bonus when you're trying to glue them onto round surfaces. It's also super strong, dries clear and it's water resistant. Been using it for years and I've never been disappointed.

the sealant I find to be the best is Lexel, it's clear, water proof, mildew resistant, and paintable. Sticks to most surfaces. I've used it on glass, plastic, metal and more

You could use clear caulk, E6000, look for any waterproof type glue unless you want to go with something like quickcrete.

Hi Cynthia, the best outdoor fairy glue is E6000. It dries clear and it's waterproof.

For outdoor projects I always go with epoxy.
