I just noticed that no one had responded to this.  The thread approach
is the only one I have used.  The thread gets attached to the model with
glue and a little piece of rice paper over the top of it.  I use a
needle to pull it through the base at the appropriate points and then
glue it to the opposite side of the base in the same manner (with a
little piece of rice paper over it).  I generally put another piece on
the base, sandwiching the thread inside to hide it.

See the pictures of the lotus card I did years ago for an example:

The longer you can make the thread on the base side, the more resistant
it is likely to be to pulling loose.

Some styles of 180-degree cards have an integrated base and do not need
attaching (see my previous post).  That's just a matter of the specific
design, though.
