Any liquid glue is going to seep through the fabric and may even cause the cardboard to buckle. A good spray adhesive applied to the cardboard will do the best job of keeping the fabric smooth and will not show through.

I agree Modpodge is expensive but it works really well without leaving a residue, without leaving lumps or bumps. If you take a small brush or what ever size you choose, you can brush the mode podge where you want the lace to go, and brush the lace again with the mod podge. You will use less glue this way. When it dries, it has a very professional finish. You can choose between a matte or a glossy. I use modpodge for all of my crafts. I work with fabric on glass, as well as paper or fabric on cardboard boxes. It does not become old and flake away like Elmer's glue will do. If you want the project to last a long time with a professional look, I would recommend modpodge
It is actually cheaper, in the long run when you buy the bigger containers. Also using the brush will help eliminate the waste and keep your fingers clean, unless you like using your fingers. In that case, it works just as well. It washes off with soap and water.

I have sewn fabric to cardboard before :D Depends how thick it is obviously, I mean, covers to things are pretty solid-y I would assume.. but yeah, there's no reason why you couldn't sew to it! Glue and fabric don't mix :S lmao And maybe really strong double-sided tape could work, be easier and leave it looking a lot neater! I don't know how many eighths are in an inch, but that sounds pretty thick.. that sounds like it would get painful after a while :P I think the best thing to do would be to use a really strong, thick glue that's been applied thinly, so it doesn't seep threw the fabric.. then it would be all uniformly stuck down!

I would use Mod Podge. Has anyone ever heard of Cartonnage. The French make the most incredible fabric covered cardboard you have ever seen. They roll the glue on with the smallest size paint roller or paint brushes. Do not thick it. Paint it on the cardboard like you are painting to paint the glue on thin.

fabric glue. My son and I used Elmers school glue just yesterday to decorate a cardboard turkey with buttons, fake eyes, ribbon and fabric. It worked just fine.

I've used the spray adhesive for fabric to cardboard and all it did was make the fabric sticky on the good side of the project. It was awful Stick with some of the other answers. They seem best.

Pva is a great glue. You can use it neat, or add some water depending on the strength you need. Also easy to get off hands etc.
