In this article we will look at how to create a cup of abundance and wealth with your own hands, which will help not only increase your capital, but also fulfill your cherished desires.
The Bowl of Abundance of Wealth is a very powerful and famous Feng Shui talisman. In ancient Chinese practice, many amulets are used, because the very meaning of this philosophy lies in the symbolic exploration of the world and finding the energetically correct sources of favorable existence. Today it is not difficult to buy a special bowl of wealth in the Feng Shui style, but it is much more interesting to create it with your own hands. Moreover, everyone must fill it for themselves! Therefore, we propose to analyze the basic rules for creating a cup of abundance.
Bowl of Wealth - Ancient Feng Shui Talisman
Until recently, the ritual of creating and consecrating the Cup of Plenty, which guarantees financial well-being, was known only to a handful of Chinese nobility. All the subtleties of the ritual were passed down purely through the male line. This secret became known to a wide audience thanks to the found Buddhist manuscripts, which also describe the magic cat's eye stone.
The effectiveness of the talisman was known not only to followers of Feng Shui practice. Some other nationalities also possessed his secret. For example, in the palaces of Indian princes there were vases filled with fruits. They served as table decorations and also worked on the principle of the Cup of Plenty.
In the east, it is customary to greet guests with baskets full of treats, which is also an example of using a symbol of prosperity and material well-being. Of course, the ritual may vary slightly depending on the specific country, but its essence remains unchanged.
Ancient Greece had its own Vase of Wealth - the Horn of Plenty (at that time, horns were often used as utensils). In the ancient Greek tradition, this talisman symbolized bliss, prosperity and fertility.
Flying mug with birds
The bird is a symbol of lightness and freedom; it is very often found in interior solutions in various styles and variations. This motif is also reflected in the decoration of the floating mug.
A floating mug can become a wonderful house for a nest of birds. The nest resembles a home and an idyll in it.
A cup with daisies and a bird with a nest looks like a real symbol of family, love and fidelity.
A bird with delicate roses, fluttering butterflies and other decorative elements will help create a summer soaring composition.
What the legend says
A folk legend tells about a poor fisherman whose net caught an expensive vase. He did not dare to sell it - the poor man could be accused of theft. Therefore, the man kept the bowl, adapting it for feeding the dog.
A few days later, the Chinese noticed that the dog had gained weight and its coat was shiny. There was food left in the makeshift bowl. It seemed to the owner that it simply didn’t end there, because the dog ate willingly and a lot. The fisherman shared his doubts with his wife. She leaned over the bowl, watching the dog eat, and accidentally dropped her only decoration - a pendant of 3 coins on a scarlet ribbon - into the food.
It was not possible to return the jewelry, and the couple went into the house, lamenting the loss. Consoling his wife, the fisherman loudly repeated that he would give her another pendant as soon as he had money. Going out into the yard again, the man saw that the dog’s bowl was filled with coins. Since then, prosperity has not left this house.
Vessel of abundance, or cup of desires, symbolizes prosperity not as a lot of money received by chance, but as an opportunity to satisfy your desires.
Flying mug made of beads
Pearls are the most noble decorative element that will add festiveness and pomp to any craft! A simple white tea pair can be transformed into such a pearl miracle!
A very delicate floating bowl will be made from soft pink satin flowers and matching pearls. A white dove will perfectly complement the composition).
Beads of different colors will also help create a unique spill cup. Flowers and ribbons of the same shade as the mug will perfectly decorate and complete the image of your cup.

Appearance of the bowl according to the rules
The talisman of prosperity must meet the following requirements:
- Have a wide and stable base. This will not only prevent the vessel from falling and overturning, scattering everything placed in it. The secret symbolism of the stable foundation of the bowl in Chinese philosophy is a reliable foundation of prosperity, which is formed by work and caring for loved ones.
- The body of the vase should be round. For a souvenir that attracts wealth, an inflated form is preferable: greatly expanded in relation to the base and neck. It is believed that the vessel should not have corners so that Qi energy can smoothly enter it. Narrowed neck. It is designed to hold what gets inside the vase. This leads to the accumulation of energy and creates the resources necessary to fulfill desires, i.e. brings constant wealth.
- The container must have a lid. When the cup of wealth is filled for the first time, it is recommended not to open it for 1 year so as not to miss your luck. According to Feng Shui, energy should flow freely, entering the xiaoxian bowl and leaving it again, bringing constant renewal and creating the opportunity to spend what has been accumulated on the fulfillment of desires. After the required period has passed, the lid of the vase must be removed.
When purchasing a ready-made souvenir, you need to pay attention to these details.

Paintings
Embroidered canvases, tapestries, and silk paintings are especially powerful.
Images of ripe fruits (especially tangerines and grapes), flowers, summer landscapes, and clean flowing water attract the energy of good luck.
Images of the desert, storm, tornado, dirty ponds, bare trees, steppes will devastate your finances. Avoid surrealism and abstract compositions.
In the bedroom, water landscapes take away health, especially the paintings above the head of the bed.
How to make a cup of plenty with your own hands
You can make the bowl yourself.
First, the bowl should be energetically cleansed. You can do this in two ways:
a) rinse with salt water,
b) fumigate with incense sticks.
You can buy a container of a suitable shape in a store and charge it, observing the ritual of making a bowl with your own hands. If desired, you can make a vase from clay or plaster if you have the skills to sculpt pottery. The clay vase will need to be fired in a special ceramics kiln. In addition to these materials, you can use a container made of wood or yellow metal.
Making a talisman yourself fills it with the cup owner’s own energy and adapts its action to the concept of prosperity and success that is characteristic of this person. Therefore, it is recommended to first charge even a purchased Chinese craft with your energy. Without this, the cup of wealth will remain just a beautiful trinket. A purchased ready-made souvenir is charged by holding it in one’s hands and projecting onto it all one’s ideas about luck, prosperity and wealth.
When creating a bowl yourself, you can draw Chinese symbols of prosperity on the vase.
At the same time, it is important to be aware of your actions and when decorating a vase, think about what life in abundance looks like. For painting, use indelible paints:
- special for painting glass and ceramics,
- white enamel for repair work (it can be painted any color),
- golden paint or metallic car spray (the aerosol can be applied through a stencil),
- glitter nail polish.
The golden color of the painting does not have much significance, but it is advisable to use it as an additional symbol of wealth.
3 Chinese coins tied with red thread or braid are suspended from the neck of the bowl. It is better to take a natural one; silk or satin ribbon will do. This symbol represents the unity of Yin and Yang. It increases the income of the inhabitants of the house tenfold.
Description
To begin with, it’s worth talking a little about what this cup of abundance is and why it is needed.
Many eastern peoples actively use such a talisman in their home in order to attract financial well-being and good luck. In appearance, this is the most ordinary pot or bowl, which has a wide variety of fillings. Some people fill it with ears of wheat, others with dried cloves and cinnamon, and others with sugar and rice. It all depends on what exactly a person wants to attract into his life. It is worth noting that such a talisman can be made at home yourself. By the way, talismans that you create with your own hands and put your positive energy into them during the creation process have greater power than those bought in a store.
You can make a money pot or bowl to attract personal happiness or health, or you can make a pot that will help create an atmosphere of harmony and comfort in your home. It all depends on your personal preferences and desires.
Many people specially attend a master class on making such bowls of abundance on the eve of special holidays, because they believe that it is New Year’s or Christmas energy that best influences the creation of such talismans. But if you didn’t have time to make such a talisman for the New Year or Christmas, then you shouldn’t be upset. You can do it at any other time. The main thing is your desire, a positive attitude and compliance with some rules, which we will discuss later.
Where you can and cannot place a bowl in the house
The placement of the Cup of Abundance should be approached as seriously and thoughtfully as its creation. You can’t put it anywhere. The ideal place for her is a room in which she will often be in the attention of the owners of the house, and will never be seen by strangers. Therefore, the most suitable place for the talisman would be the bedroom.
If space allows, then place your money talisman in the southeastern part of the room - in the wealth zone, as prescribed by the teachings of Feng Shui. This will also mean that you strive for harmony and light.
However, if there is a window in the south-eastern part of your room, then you cannot place the bowl there. This is due to the fact that wealth should not be displayed, and the proximity of a window does not bode well: it can be carried away by the wind.
In the living room, hallway or other rooms where strangers are often present, the Cup of Plenty should not be placed under any circumstances. Otherwise, each of your guests who casts a casual glance at the talisman will take away part of your wealth. This absolutely cannot be allowed. If you have a small apartment that does not allow you to choose the location of the Bowl so pickily, hide it in a closed closet. This way, protected from prying eyes, she will work quietly and calmly for the benefit of your family.
Your expenses for creating this talisman, both monetary and labor, will be returned to you a hundredfold. You will see how your affairs will improve, you will become more successful and happier. Soon you will forget about financial problems. If you did everything correctly, then the activation of the talisman occurs instantly.
Keep the cup of abundance like the apple of your eye; under no circumstances throw it away or give it to anyone. If you want to surprise your relatives or friends with such an unusual gift, then make separate bowls for them.

Middle part of the vase
Five Elements Pagoda - a strong protective amulet
In the middle part of the vase, the most important components will be the coins. Be generous and put in as many coins as you feel comfortable with.

Materials
1) tea or coffee pair (cup and saucer)
2) glue for connecting the “flowing” structure with the bowl and saucer. It is better to use the universal Moment gel adhesive for ceramics, plastic or glass. An alternative can be any other adhesive designed to work with smooth surfaces. A glue gun is also used, but it is intended mainly for working with rough surfaces. There is a possibility that the cup will come off in the near future after gluing.
3) thick wire or triple wires. You can use other flexible items, such as old aluminum forks or spoons, or a metal hanger.
4) polymorphus ( superplastic ) – self-hardening thermoplastic. When heated, it becomes plastic and convenient for giving it the desired shape. When cooled, it becomes hard, elastic and durable.
5) masking tape - it can replace superplastic
6) modeling mass , can also replace polymorphus. It resembles plasticine, but unlike it, it hardens well in air. Contains natural ingredients (dough made from cereal flour), so it is absolutely safe for children.
7) decoration items : coins, flowers, pine cones, feathers, candies, beads, buttons, ribbons and much, much more.
Charging the bowl
After work on the bowl is completed, it should be activated. The ritual itself is simple. To do this, you can use melt water. You can get melt water by freezing and thawing filtered tap or bottle water several times.
If you do not have the opportunity to use melt water, the bowl can be cleaned by fumigating it with incense - myrrh, frankincense and sandalwood. You can repeat the activation ritual, and with it the ritual of visualizing “money desires,” on every eleventh lunar day.

Floating cup made of coffee beans
Coffee beans are still one of the most popular materials used in decoration. It’s very easy to create such a floating mug, but there are a few secrets .
1. When creating a flying bowl, it is better to wrap the base with masking tape. Next, the resulting “slide” must be painted in the color of coffee with acrylic paint so that the base does not show through between the grains.
2. Another option is to wrap the base with brown fabric.
After this, you can start gluing the coffee beans. There is also one important nuance here.
If you use hot glue, it is better to apply it to the grains themselves, and not to the base. This way, glue smudges will not be visible.
Coffee beans can be complemented with decorative elements such as cinnamon sticks, dried citrus fruits, and clove flowers.
Satin flowers using the Kanzashi technique will perfectly decorate your steaming coffee cup:

The tea pair can be decorated with simple twine. Twine can be used in either natural color or dyed or bleached.
An appetizing cake will perfectly complement your cup. The cake can be “made” from modeling mass by painting it with acrylic paint and pasting it with coconut shavings. Be careful, there is a high probability of not being distinguishable from the real thing!)
Kanzashi Needlework Video tutorials will clearly show how you can make a floating bowl with coffee decor:
Sea floating mug
Marine themes have found application in this type of creativity. Surely many people have shells at home that they brought from vacation. Using shells, beads, crystals, you can create a creative cup with seafood...
…. flying shell, replete with chic black pearls.
Broken shells, painted ceramic shards - you can safely use all this to decorate your designer mug. Create your own sea harmony.
Unusual flying cups
Instead of a flying cup, you can make a flying teapot. This composition will look very original on your kitchen table. When performing such a craft, it is better to choose a teapot of small size and weight so as not to overload the structure. It is better to make a “stream” from a teapot from thin, strong wire (for example, knitting needles) and superplastic.
Hanging flying cups with flowers can become an original decoration! The main thing is to securely fasten them.
A floating cup can be imagined as a mountain waterfall. Moss made from natural sponge or sisal, pebbles and a bear will complete this mountain landscape in miniature)
With the help of LEDs, the bowl can be used as a lamp

Process of creation
For greater stability, it is important to follow the following rules.
It is advisable to choose a lightweight cup so that your creation does not fall apart under the weight. Also, the pair should match in size and color. The distance between them should be no more than two mug lengths. The top should be positioned at an angle of no more than 45 degrees and should not be pushed beyond the center.
The ends of the plug or wire, the bottom and the part from which water will “drain” must be degreased so that they adhere well. They are glued one at a time and left for a day to harden. If you need a wider decoration surface, wrap it with fabric, felt or special plastic - polymorphus.
When you have strengthened the frame, make sure it is secure. And, if it is stable, does not fall and does not come off, then you can move on to the next step - design. How to do this - see the step-by-step photos in the master class.
