Green Luck Rice & Green Luck Rice Potpourri

Green Luck Rice & Green Luck Rice Potpourri

I decided I needed an extra abundance of luck and money so I gathered the materials and made these in less than half an hour. Super easy, very fun to do, and concentrating on the intent of the work assures me that it will prove to be a very worthwhile project!

The potpourri was kind of an accident. I had left over rice mixture and I was wanting to make a new "Money Herb" mix. So I gathered the few ingredients I had planned on using, threw them in, stirred it all up and couldn't believe the aroma! OMG it's perfect! Nice and soft, slightly spicy lemon! LOVE it!

Here's a picture of the bottles on the money altar. The lids hadn't been designed yet. The vintage bottle in front has the potpourri mix in it, the others are the Green Luck Rice.

Green Luck Rice

5 cups Rice

1 Tbls Green Sugar

Green Food Coloring – darkened to desired color

2 Tbls Alcohol

2 Tbls Water

Shredded Dollar(s)

1 Quarter

1 Dime

1 Nickel

1 Penny

Optional: other green items such as Aventurine stone, green ribbon, etc.

Jar(s)

Pour rice & sugar in a large bowl.

Shred the dollar into tiny pieces.

Combine green food coloring, alcohol, and water mixing thoroughly.

Add the green liquid mixture to the rice and stir thoroughly, coating every grain of rice.

Add the shredded dollar bits and mix in completely.

Pour green luck rice mixture into clean jars, then press the coins down into it as far as you can (maybe even shake it a bit to get the coins to move even further down inside the mixture).

This mixture can be left in the jar in a prominent location, such as near the front door, near where you place your purse or wallet, or near your bills. Where ever you think it will work best….or in all the places! Even carry some in your wallet to keep money coming to you and you never run out.
