Question for you prim gals

I got an unfinished wooden candlestick at Michael's today with the idea to make a make do with it. Any ideas of how to actually do it?? How do I make{lets say a bird} actually stick on it??
Thank you in advance for all your help!!

*So, I googled prim make do's and didn't find much in the way of directions, so I emailed a prim loving girl and she said to just use hot glue. I should have figured it would be that simple!!
*A make do{at least as far as I am concerned} is basically a stuffed something{be it a bird, heart, pumpkin, etc.} connected to a base. I am using a candlestick, but I have seen wooden spools used as well.
