How to make something look ancient. ?

Soak some teabags in boiling water and then let the water cool down so you don't burn yourself. You can put ice cubes in it if you want. Crumple up the paper tightly and dunk it in the water if you want the whole paper to look yellowed and old. If you want it to look splotchy, use a sponge to sponge the tea on the paper. Uncrumple the paper and let it sit out for a while to mostly dry, but don't let it get too dry. It should be slighly damp for the next step. Light a candle and VERY CAREFULLY burn each corners of the paper and some of the sides. You can even do a little of the middle if you want. Voila! You have an aged looking doent!
