I put lace curtains up in my old 1/2 bathroom. I didn't want to constantly slide the lace on the rod to open and close them as we open and close the window a lot. What I did was use rings with clips and just clipped them onto the lace and slid the rings onto the rod. Didn't have any problem with them snagging or anything even when taking them down to be washed. Just needed to be careful to slowly unclip them.
