I've used wall paper paste. Apply - thinly - to the cabinet. Not too thick. Lay the cloth on top and press down. You might want to put a staple here and there to keep it tight. Don't worry if the paste oozes through the cloth. Just wipe it off with a damp rag. The nice thing about the paste is that it's water based. Best to try on a sample first.
