I've stuck my background paper to chipboard any number of ways,,,,,

I've used mod podge, brayered it with a credit card and then covered the back ground paper with it again to "coat" and protect it,,,,,,

sometimes I don't want that look, so I simply use ATG or any double sided acid free tape to adhere,,,,,getting close to the edges so it doesn't lift up easily,,,,,

I'd not MYSELF stick a brad or eyelet all the way through the book, only because the yucky side will show on the OTHER side,,,,,,,

what I actually LIKE to do with brads on minis, is clip off the wings with wire clippers and just glue them down with a glue dot like a button,,,,, I did that here,,,,,,
