| How To Age Paper |
| |
You Will
Need
- Paper
- A used tea bag
- Coffee grounds
- Lemon juice
- A flame
- An iron
|
| |
| Steps |
 Use
tea
Drag a wet tea bag across the paper. The tea will stain the paper, giving it an aged appearance.
 Use
coffee
Place wet coffee grounds on the paper; then shake them off. The coffee will turn the paper brown and give it an aged appearance.
 Use
lemon juice
Cover the paper with lemon juice, and then expose it near a flame. The longer the exposure, the darker the paper will become.
|
 |
Tea, coffee, and lemon juice are all acidic,
and will decrease the life of the paper. |
 Burn
the edges
Tear the edges, then wet the inner borders slightly to keep from burning more of the paper than you want. Then burn the paper’s edges.
 Crumple
the paper
Carefully crumple the paper a couple of times, and then iron it.
