I agree with DYI Maven about the spray adhesive, though. As an environmental chemist, I can tell you that the stuff is POISON and doesn't just affect us. The stuff sticks around forever (sorry about the pun), and componants of it have even been found in the livers of polar bears!
It should be avoided at all cost...unfortunately just like everything else that comes in an arerosol can.
I wonder if a little rubber cement or strips of double sided tape would work. Or better yet, if you use a natural fabric like cotton, a thin coat of wood glue would be perfect! Almost twenty years ago I used Elmer's wood glue to stick canvas to paperboard and it worked really well, and it is still stuck!
Thanks for the fabulous idea!

My spray adhesive (from an upholstery supplier in Cincinnati) has no bad fumes I can detect. I'll check it out to see what it is. I agree on spray paint-a nightmare any way you look at it.

Clever!! Mmm, spray glue... Kidding. That stuff makes me want to hurl. When I use it--always outside--I make sure the wind will carry it away and I still hold my breath! And don't even get me started on spray paint....
