With rope.........  ;D

Seriously, I haven't hung any in a long time, but I like to use what I call Adel clamps. Basically the same thing you use for wiring harnesses and such. (just a larger version)
I'm sure there's another term for them.... I call them Adels from the aviation days.
Adels actually have a metal band in them, but you really only need the plain plastic ones.

I'm sure there's better suggestions out there as well.

I used a staple gun on some translucent cable ties, then tied and cut them to hold the rope without being too obvious.

Mine too, but the clips I got with it didn't age well and every time the kids looked at it sideways they broke and the light rope fell out. Ended up having to trash the clips and go with the zip ties & staples.
