Default Glue suggestions for vines to pine.

I made a little toy house with pine lining boards that I have
shellaced to give a warm colour. I was gluing some dried out vines
(3-4mm dia) around the edges of the building but the water based
contact adhesive I used leaked onto the shellaced pine and left a
nasty dark coloured ridge around the sides of the vine.
Any suggestions what glue I could use to glue the vine to the pine
without it reacting with the shellac.


I think I'd use straight pins to hold all the vines I want in
place...as few pins as needed, just pushed thru the vine into the
pine. Once that was done I'd use white glue everywhere there was a
pin...just a little, preferably at the top of the vine. When dry,
remove pins. You could use Super Glue too but it would wick into the
vine and darken a small portion of it.
