From helping nieces and nephews do English and History homeworks… Print or write what you want on it first.  Decent thick paper, give it a quick scrunch up and stain with teabags, but try not to get it too wet and let it dry slowly. You can also burn and singe the edges with a lighter or matches or tear them as said above.  Thin paper is more likely to disintegrate after it drys, especially if you try and roll it into a scroll etc.

If you want to put a wax seals on it, melt candle wax and press something suitable into it.
