Maple leaf tea towel

Sometimes store-bought stencils should take a backseat.

Is what I mean is, look for a replacement in nature first.

Like this lovely maple leaf that I plucked off a maple tree on the college campus near my house.

Who knew it would make the perfect stencil for a fall-inspired craft project!

I bought this bronze-colored fabric paint from Amazon. It was about only $6 and a little bit will go a long way.

Canadian-approved, eh?
