I mean, like good at crafts?
What would be the best method to try to attach a piece of plastic to a headband (like a hard one with fabric on the outside)? Hot glue gun? That's my guess, but who knows. I'm so not into making stuff but have to get creative for some halloween costume accessories.

Stainless steel sheet metal screws. They'll help hold the headband in place on the head too!

No, that would show too much. I need the attaching substance to blend in. That's why I was thinking the hot glue gun thing.

That sounds comfy. I'll have to wait until half way into the party though so I'll be numbed by alcohol!!!!!!

The hot glue gun is an essential tool for any crafty person......seriously! Just spread the layers thin so it sticks better, if it clumps up too much it can break off.
I just made this last weekend.....
