My solution was to use some cotton cording that came with the house when we bought it. I'm not sure what the cording would be used for (upholstery, perhaps?) as it tends to unravel if you don't tape the ends, but it works quite well and lays quite flat. The circumference is about 3/16 of an inch. What's nice also is that it doesn't slide around in the hand-sewn eyelets (unlike the slippery cording I bought at JoAnn's).
