Since a hot glue gun might not work well on the insulation, what about using a cold glue gun. I don't have one myself, but I do know they exist...maybe from a Michael's or Hobby Lobby store or even a Home Depot or Lowe's type store.

When I did my design wall, I tried duct tape and it didn't stick too well to the foam. Then I tried staples but they weren't long enough. I finally used pins. A lot of pins. I used batting instead of flannel and I stuck the pins right through the batting and into the foam on an angle to hold it up. I pinned all along the top and side edges and it has held up great! Good luck!
I have built my design wall. I am using foam board insulation sheets 4'x8'. I have them cut so that they fit snuggly between baseboard and ceiling and corner to doorframe with holes cut out for receptacles, light switches and thermostat. They fit snuggly and actually stay in place because the fit is good. Trial fit is good. Next step is wrapping them with flannel. I found exceptionally good quality cotton flannel that feels almost as thick as felt. It is 54" wide. I had planned to wrap each section of foam board with the flannel using duct tape. I would like to avoid using aerosol adhesive because I don't like it in the air, I don't like the over spray and I am not sure I would like it remaining in that flannel forever. However, I am afraid I won't be able to get the flannel pulled tight enough so that it's really smooth and I am afraid it will sag if I don't use the spray adhesive. Any suggestions? I am really wanting to get done with this. I want to sew! I want to get my HST Exchange quilt on the wall and stare at it for a while so I can decide how to quilt it. I want to be done with this wall very soon! Thanks for any suggestions. Lois
