Curtain eyelets too big for pole

I wonder of anyone has a bright idea to fix this. My new eyelet curtains are just a fraction too long and consequently don't hang right at the bottom. Rather than trying to take them up, I realised that the eyelet rings are actually too big for the pole, which makes them hang slightly lower than they should. They would look better if they were somehow lifted, which means fixing something across the eyelet to make it smaller. Is this making any sense? I'm racking my brain trying to think of a solution to it!
