I have made hat pins before but just used bead and things with holes in them. Now I would like to try to attach some neat costume jewelry pieces to the blanks and am not sure how to do this since the blanks are not silver or gold.

Never did this for hat pin blanks but if you could drill small tiny holes with a dermal drill and attach with wire. Wire is popular even when it shows. You will have to feed the sharp wire end back into a hole so not to tangle with hair. I'd put a dab of glue in the hole to. I don't know what hat pin blanks look like I'm assuming a little tray thing on the end.

There are some metal adhesives - here is a link to some info I found that might be helpful http://www.doityourself.com/stry/5-tips-for-using-metal-to-metal-adhesives

I love my soldering gun for all things like this. Not sure about metal compatibility, but for some it may work. Other than that E6000 is my go to. I know you said without adhesives, but if used with care you can't see it and it holds so very well.

not sure if there is a reaction to whatever metal you are using but have you tried contact cement?
