Hello again, dear blog readers. Today we will tell you how to create a topiary with your own hands, a cup of abundance. This is a wonderful souvenir that brings success and prosperity to your home. In another way it can be called a “floating bowl” or mug. And the most interesting thing is that it is quite easy to do it yourself.
So where do we start?
If you have an unused pair of teas at home, they will become the basis of a topiary. It is better to take a small coffee cup. Another necessary item is a dinner fork. An aluminum fork is optimal because it bends better. We will also need artificial flowers or fruits, a glue gun, and scissors. For this craft, you can use free decor to suit your taste.
Let's get started
First you need to bend the fork as shown in the photo.
This is easy to do manually. The main thing is not to bend it too much and find a balance point. Glue the bowl to the fork using a glue gun. Let's make sure that everything is glued well and holds. Don't spare the rods! If your work falls apart later, it will be much more disappointing.
Now you need to glue the other end of the fork to the saucer. This is the most important step. Apply it, without gluing it first, to feel where the very area in which our bowl keeps its balance. You may not find it the first time. Try it! This work can be done even for beginners!
Having found that very area, glue the fork to the saucer. You need to pour a lot of glue in order for the composition to stick.
Craftsmen advise using “Cold Welding” glue instead of a heat gun - the composition will hold much stronger.
Let the bowl dry a little and start decorating.
Decor
Cut flowers from branches.
If after separation the flower falls apart, you need to reassemble it, gluing each layer. Apply glue to the flower and glue it to the fork.
The goal is to beautifully cover the fork with decor to create the impression of a flowing stream of flowers. We do everything carefully, do not allow glue to get on the front side of the flowers. You can stick more leaves on the back of the fork.
If desired, we complement the decor with artificial fruits, berries, Christmas beads, moss or sisal (fiber from agave leaves) and other interesting little things.
Finishing touch
So, step by step, we explained to you how to create a floating bowl. If the color and design of the tea pair is in harmony with the decorations, that’s great! If not, you can decorate the bowl itself with flowers on top or plant a butterfly or bird there.
It is better to place the finished topiary in the zone of prosperity according to Feng Shui - to the southwest. And you can please your loved ones with such a magical gift. They will appreciate it.
May the cup of abundance bring you joy! See you again!
According to Feng Shui, the boat and bowl of abundance is considered the most powerful talisman for attracting the energy of money, success and financial stability in your home.
Choosing a cup of wealth
Creating a bowl or boat of abundance according to Feng Shui is a very serious task, and you need to treat it with all responsibility and very carefully. You need to start with the base, that is, the bowl. When choosing a bowl, give your preference to metal, ceramic, stone or crystal. But many people believe that the bowl should not be transparent. If you have enough money, you will choose a bowl made of expensive metals such as silver, bronze or brass. Remember to make sure that the bowl you choose is not glass or plastic.
Choose a bowl that has wide edges, but no larger than itself in the middle. This way, the energy of wealth will better get into it, but will not be able to get out. Its shape should be squat and not high, round in shape.
Filling the cup of abundance
Filling the cup of abundance is quite a difficult task. After all, in order to fill it correctly, you can spend more than one day, or even more than one week. What should you put in the bowl?
- The very first thing you should put into the bowl is a bundle containing nine Chinese coins, and a lucky knot is tied at the end of it. You can either make or buy this bundle.
- The second thing you need to put is a branch of a plant and a handful of soil, which you should take from a person who is happy and prosperous. Come visit him and ask for what you need. Remember, you can’t take it without permission! The twig and soil should be placed in a red bag and lowered into the bowl.
- The third place is money of any equivalent, the main thing is that the amount is 998. For example, nine rubles 88 kopecks. Place them in the red bag as well.
- Place two elephants in the bowl as symbols of good luck. Instead of them or together with them, you can put pairs of fish, horses, and a lotus flower into the bowl.
- Lower the figure of the god Hottei.
- Place a small vase at the bottom of a large bowl, because there are some that are only three centimeters high.
- It is necessary to put a talisman of heaven, god or the universe protecting you. Only your imagination works here. Such a symbol could be the sun, a painting depicting the vault of heaven.
- Now your cup is half filled, and fill the second part with stones, both precious and semi-precious. Any that you have or can purchase.
- You also need to put your personal valuables there. At least one gold piece of jewelry.
- And the last step is to put a couple of expensive chocolates into the bowl of abundance as a sign of the sweet life.
The most important thing is to fill the cup of abundance to the very brim, almost to an overflowing state, so that when you look at it you feel its abundance and wealth.
Placing the cup of abundance
You cannot place your filled cup of abundance in any place you want. The most the best place for its placement - this is the “Wealth” zone, which is located in the southeast.
You can also place the cup of abundance in the room where you sleep, and in a place where your eyes will always look at it. But you cannot place it where the bowl can be seen by people who will come to your home, for example, in the living room. After all, if every guest begins to look at your cup of abundance, it will begin to empty and all the wealth will dissolve rather than grow.
But when you finish filling your cup, put it in its place, you will immediately feel the result. Material well-being will begin to come to you, and you will see how your financial affairs will go uphill.

One day, a poor fisherman named Sheng Wansan went fishing in the Yangtze River. He cast his nets, but instead of catching a catch, he pulled out a beautiful vase. The old man was poor and had no use for the elegant trinket, so he decided to use it as a dog bowl.
However, after pouring dog food into a bowl, a few days later the fisherman was surprised to discover that no matter how much the dog ate, there was no less food in the bowl. Then his wife accidentally dropped her only gold hairpin into the vase, and when she bent down to pick it up, she saw that the bowl was filled to the brim with gold.

A handful of soil from the house of your rich and respected friend. Under no circumstances should it be taken secretly, since stolen land will only bring misfortune. Let the owner give it to you voluntarily, for example, under the pretext of flower soil, if you are embarrassed to directly state for what purpose you are going to use it.
Also a few bills from the rich man's pocket. Ask him to change money for you so as not to attract too much attention.
Photo of your dream home. Feel free to cut it out from a magazine or print a photo from the Internet. Try not to wrinkle the picture; you can also put several photos in the bowl.

The Feng Shui Wealth Bowl is an excellent Feng Shui talisman for attracting wealth to your home. She acts as a symbol of harmony and stability. The concept of a “house as a full cup” dates back to ancient times. Remember the images of the palaces of maharajas, sultans, kings, very often they depicted vases full of fruit. It was considered not only a decoration for the table, but also a symbol of prosperity, abundance, and success in life.
feng shui wealth
In Feng Shui, the bowl of wealth is also considered an excellent way to achieve material well-being. Let's take a closer look at what the “correct” cup of wealth should be according to the teachings of Feng Shui.
IN ancient China The ritual of filling the cup of wealth was kept in great secrecy and was passed down from generation to generation through the male line. It was believed that this was the best way to provide oneself and all one’s descendants with the energy of prosperity, stability and success.
What should be the cup of wealth in Feng Shui?
cup of wealth feng shui First of all, you need to choose the bowl itself. It is best if it is made of copper, gold or silver. If it is not possible to purchase a metal Feng Shui wealth bowl, then a ceramic or crystal one is quite suitable, but in no case glass or plastic.
The second thing you should pay attention to is its shape. Your cup of wealth should be round. Slightly tapering towards the neck and bottom, and its middle should have the largest diameter. According to Chinese beliefs, this shape of the cup of wealth makes it easy for money to get in and not easy to get out.
Third, there must be a lid on the bowl so that the wealth does not “evaporate.”
cup of wealth The ideal option is to use a Chinese wealth bowl, which depicts various feng shui symbols of wealth. These could be coins, a double knot, miniature bowls of wealth (similar to gold bars), various deities, a dragon and phoenix, symbols of the seasons, etc. But if for some reason you cannot purchase a special Feng Shui cup of wealth, you can take an ordinary vessel without symbols, the main thing is that it meets the above requirements regarding shape and material.
Feng Shui Wealth Cup Filling
So, the bowl has been selected. Now you need to fill it correctly in order to attract the energy of prosperity into your life.
Some Feng Shui masters recommend first clearing the bowl of extraneous energy. I think this is reasonable and recommend that you do this before filling your cup. Cleaning can be done by washing the bowl with salted water, or using fumigation sticks.
At this point the bowl will be half full. You can fill the other half of the bowl as desired.
What else to fill the cup with:
In short, you can fill the cup various items, the main thing is that it is filled to the brim. So that looking at her, a feeling of wealth and abundance arises.
Of course, the process of “creating” a feng shui wealth bowl will take some time and possibly some expense, but it will be worth it. Your cup will return everything to you in full.
Where to place the feng shui cup of wealth?
gold bars in the shape of a bowl The best place for the cup of wealth is the south-eastern sector of the bedroom. It is best to install it so that the owner’s gaze periodically falls on it, but it is better to remove the bowl from prying eyes. Therefore, there is no need to put it in a prominent place, for example in the living room. Because it will attract the attention of outsiders, and this in turn will contribute to the dispersion of wealth, rather than its accumulation.
I would also like to add that if you do not have the opportunity or desire to “collect” the cup of wealth yourself. You can buy ready-made miniature bowls. As already described above, they look like small gold bars, in the form of an oblong bowl with a lid. It is better to buy nine of these bowls and place them in different sectors of the house.
Since ancient times, a vase has been considered a symbol of prosperity. In Arab and Indian courtyards, huge floor vases stood everywhere, and guests were offered refreshments from numerous rosettes and fruit bowls.
It was believed that a bowl filled to the brim with fruits and sweets symbolizes luxury and wealth. The Horn of Plenty is found in the myths of Ancient Greece, and the Holy Grail in the Christian Middle Ages. All these symbols carry one meaning: fulfillment of desires and grace for their owner.
