Hi Veronique, I do not know of any adhesive that will hold onto metal but my husband uses Araldite glue where you mix 2 components together before you apply- hardware product. He uses it to adhere metal to metal. Maybe someone else has a suggestion if this is not available in Europe. http://www.selleys.com.au/adhesives/household-adhesive/araldite/

You could fine wire each piece on and then hide the wiring on underside with a braid or lace.  Have you considered covering the metal frame with fabric stitching all together on underside and then glue braid over join. There are tubular braids you can thread wire band through then neatly close each end by tucking in and onto wrong side.

Amongst these suggestions I hope you find a solution  -Elaine

Another milliner told me she winds velvet ribbon around her metal bands but you still need to fasten @ base at the inner side. Hope you find the glue.
