Instructions

  • Pour 1 cup of rice into each of the 2 ziplock freezer baggie (1 cup in each baggy).
  • Add blue food coloring to one, close the ziplock and mix it by massaging the rice through the baggie until the desired shade was reached. Keep adding a few drops of food coloring each time until it gets to the desired shade.
  • Repeat this same step with the red color and the other baggie. A deep red color may take more food coloring than blue.
  • Start with the red rice, pour 1/3 cup of the red colored rice into the vase and level it out. Add the undyed white rice and top with the blue colored rice.
  • Add a votive or tea candle on top.

Notes

Using the baggies makes absolutely no mess and no cleanup, just throw them away.
