You can add the shape you need, and no one will ever know (or care) what's under the fabric - all that matters is the end result. Do you have pics of your New Years' tablescape?

I find when it comes to tablescaping, it is really time to think outside the box. There are very few things that can't go on the table, it is all about scale. The favorite scape that I have done was for New Year's Eve. I took some extra black velvet that I had around, threw is over a box for some height, and then placed my grandmother's old rhinestone costume jewelry around it. It sparkled and shined once I placed some candles on the table. Love the tips!
