Diy Fall Stencils

Today I'm playing with paint and my new stencils from Temu

Happy Fall

This is perfect for a t shirt or sweet shirt. 

Make sure to pick a light color so it will show up.

I used regular acrylic paint and a sponge brush from Dollar tree.Use paint tape to hold down stencil.

This sign was made on a painted white board 

Paint tip....

I used regular acrylic paint but you can make stencil paint by adding corn starch to your paint to thicken it .

Welcome, fall! The autumnal equinox—also called the September equinox or the fall equinox—arrives on Tuesday, September 22. Not only do temperatures drop, but plant life slows down, and so do we.

Homemade Chai

Ingredients

• 1/2 whole star anise

• 10 to 12 whole cloves

• 6 to 7 whole allspice

• 1 heaping teaspoon (or 2 short sticks) cinnamon bark

• 6 to 7 whole white peppercorns

• 1 cardamon pod, opened to the seeds

• 1 cup water

• 4 cups whole milk

• 2 heaping tablespoons high-quality, full-bodied broad-leaf black tea (Ceylon or English Breakfast)

• Sugar, to taste

• 
  

• 1. Boil the spices in water:

     In a 2-quart saucepan, add spices to 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let steep for 5 to 20 minutes, depending on how strong a spice flavor you want.

  2. Add the milk and simmer:

     Add 4 to 6 cups of whole milk to the spiced water. If you don't have whole milk, you can also use non-fat or low-fat milk. Just add some cream to it, a few tablespoons to your liking. Bring the milk and spice mixture just to a boil and remove from heat.

  3. Add the tea and steep:

     Add tea and let steep for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how strong your like your tea. (Option at this point - reheat to a simmer and remove from heat.)

     You can add sugar at this point, or serve without sugar and let people put the amount of sugar in they want. Traditionally, sugar is added before serving.

  4. Strain and serve:

     Strain into a pot, and serve. Add more sugar, to taste if desired.
