I'm not SURE I understand the exact application, but here goes with my idea...
Cut out your beadwork from the pad, and stitch it down on your cap, kinda like you were sewing on a patch over a hole in a pair of jeans... Leave at least 1/4 to 3/8 around the last row of beadwork, and if you are REALLY worried about unraveling, iron some of that "glue tape" stuff (stitchless basting?) all around your fabric edge for security. Make sure you tuck the edge of the "un beaded" fabric under the beadwork as you go stitching to your cap.
In order to hide the edge stitching, do a beaded border... Like it you would on a rosette if you've ever done that before, or between the backing and the front of a barette (you said you made those before right?).
In the future if there is ever a problem, just cut the stitching from the cap to the "beaded patch" and you're all set. Just repeat the process to attach to another project!
Is that the kind of idea you were looking for? Definately don't get those scissors too close to your beading threads, or cut so the edges will unravel... That would be a tragedy!
