That actually sounds pretty sweet. Post it when you can.

I'm from México, so I don't Know Elmers, I use something called Resistol 850 (resistol is the brand name, the "850" is the glue type, and is basically known as "schoolar glue", the white one...) that type of glue is the one I have ever used, and works great. see the yamaha instructions to see how to use it. basically, put a drop in some useless piece of paper, take a little with the finger you prefer, JUST A LITTLE, put it in the flap you wish to paste, be sure is only a little ammount, paste de flap where you want to paste it (duh!) and PRESS IT as if there were no tomorrow... well, maybe not as strong, but press it. it will cause the flap to get instantly pasted

I've got a pair of jewelers tweezers which are super long and can get into tight spots that I use to squeeze flaps together.

toothpicks work great for tight spots, too.

You'll hear people mention from time to time that PVA is better than Elmer's. Really most commercially available glues are PVA's, being water-based and optimally used on porous surfaces.

What they might be talking about is a bookbinding PVA that I got ahold of, which is very useful for papercraft. It gets tacky long before and moves much more than Elmer's glue. There are no fumes, and while it doesn't clean u p as easily when it dries (this PVA can leave a rubbery mess) it holds the paper firmly together.

Any glue works, really. Even super glue and wood glue. Just learn about how they behave and use discretion in deciding what's best for the craft you're putting together.

Something else that might come in handy is a small flat paintbrush with an angled tip. It's especially good for tiny tabs or when you need a very thin layer of glue.

Personally I've never needed a toothpick or anything to put together crafts but I'm one of those imaginary wimminz on the internet so it might be that my fingers are slimmer than most.

Also, in before someone asks what paper to use.

I have used super glue to speed up some models, and I don't think I can recommend it. it leaves no time for readjustment at all.
