Looks like you need some webbing tape and a fairly hefty staple gun.
Maybe someone can come up with another idea.

Masking tape? My frame has "no-sew" roller bars, I just attach the fabric to them with masking tape, the manufacturer suggests securing with staples if needed, I haven't needed to so far but I had a lot of fabric to wrap around which helped.

I was thinking along the same lines as Kute Kitty some kind of tape or staple if you have a left a lot of material around the edge of your design.
