VIDEO: Table decoration with white bougainvilleas

White bougainvilleas make a delightful table decoration.

Here's how:

1. Immerse a paper doily in a glass container with water to prevent the doily from losing its shape.

2. Stick transparent tape in a grid pattern across the top of the container to keep the stems in position.

3. Strip off the lower leaves on the stems and arrange them one at a time. Be careful not to tear the doily.
