Answer 1

Well make tea with tea bag then dip in the paper. Let it sit there and it will look old.

Answer 2

you can just rub a tea bag straight on to the paper..or carefully use a lighter to burn the edges..or smudge coffee on it (carefully)

Answer 3

Put a tea bag in some water and mix it up so the water turns the tea colour. Using a brush, brush it all over the paper, this will stain it. Leave it somewher to dry, and when it's done carefully burn around the edges with a candle, just slightly all around, blowing it out as you go so you dont burn the whole thing! Then s***w it up a bit, unscrew it and they you go, very old looking paper! (It might be better to burn it and s***w it up before staining it with tea!)

Answer 4

dip the paper into steeped tea, let it dry presto. old looking paper

Answer 5

Ayybayray's answer is the best, ...just a tip, when using the tea, make it really strong, and dark, then just use a smal wad of rag and soak it in the tea. Rub quickly over the surface of the paper. and allow to dry. It will become nicely stained. Then using a match or lighter, singe the outside edges of the paper, it takes awhile, cause you do this a small amount at time to prevent fires. You can "set" the paper after you draw on it or write or watercolor on it by drying it and then spraying it with a light spray of hairspray. Allow to dry. Paper will crinkle nicely too.

Answer 6

Make some tea, pour it into a shallow pan.  Soak your paper in this tea long enough for it to take on some color.  Won't take long.  

Then dry the paper laying flat on something that allows the water to drain away under it, such as a towel.

Burn the edges first.  Getting the edges right will be the hardest part.  To burn the edges first use a wet sponge to moisten the parts of the paper you don't want to burn.  Good luck - 9 times out of 10 the whole paper goes up.
