There are a few ways to attach an object to a bone in Blender. The most straightforward way is to select the bone you wish to attach the object to, then select the object you wish to attach, and press Ctrl+P. This will bring up a menu with a few different options for attaching the object to the bone. The first option, "With Empty Groups", will create an Empty at the bone's head, and parent the object to that Empty. The second option, "With Automatic Weights", will automatically weight the object to the bone based on the bone's envelope. The third option, "With Envelope Weights", will weight the object to the bone based on the bone's envelope, but will also allow you to manually edit the weights.
The fourth option, "Child Of", will parent the object to the bone, but will not weight the object to the bone. This is useful if you want to parent an object to a bone, but don't want the bone to affect the object's transform.
The fifth option, "Follow Path", will cause the object to follow the bone's path. This is useful for things like hair or fur, which you want to follow the bone, but don't want to be affected by the bone's transform.
The sixth and final option, "Spline IK", will cause the object to follow a spline that is generated by the bone. This is useful for things like tentacles or tails, which you want to be able to control, but don't want to be affected by the bone's transform.
Once you've selected the desired option, press "OK" to attach the object to the bone.
