How to Make Paper Look Old by Aging it with Tea

You want to print or write anything on your paper BEFORE you age it.
Preheat oven to 200°.
Place the paper on a cookie sheet (I use an old one)
Pour tea/coffee over the paper until the entire sheet is covered, make sure it soaks in on both side.
If you want darker spots on the paper, sprinkle instant coffee on the paper and let it sit on the paper. Wipe it off after a few minutes.
Rub your finger around the edge of the paper to wear the edges.
Place the cookie sheet and paper in the oven for about 6 minutes until dry.
Gently loosen the the paper from the cookie sheet with a fork. Be careful, it will be hot!
