Take one red cloth and spread on table/stool and also take a handful of grain and put in the center. You have to do all the things in the puja room or living room in your home.

Bring Kalash

Did you put the grains at the center-right? Now Bring one Kalash filled with water and place in the middle of grains and also place one supari, one marigold flower, a coin, and some rice grains. Take 5 Mango leaves also and place it in the surrounding of the Kalash.

Idol of Goddess Laxmi and Lord Ganesha

Bring the idol of Goddess Laxmi and put it in the center along with the idol of Lord Ganesha on the right side of the Kalash. Once you put the idol in the proper direction, it's now time to bring small thali and make a small mini mountain of rice grains, shape a lotus flower with Haldi, if you have some coins with you then put it in one small bowl filled with milk and kumkum.

Tilak

Do Tilak on the forehead of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesh and light diyas. Do tilak on each side of  Kalash also.
