Reply To: Prop Documents: Making handouts look aged

[timchubbKeymaster 3166xp 1]

Do this a lot for various am dram things and just for fun:

crumple the paper into loose balls then flatten out

tear corners, if you smoke or know a smoker, nick a cig off them and use to burn a few select holes in paper

fill a jug with boiling water, add a tea bag and some lemon juice, leave to cool down, then soak a sponge in the mixture and wipe over the paper (be warned if you have printed with an injet printer the ink may run as most are water soluble), repeat to get the aged look you want. it will dry lighter, but you can control the aging by repeat sponging,

then leave to dry, no need for an oven just a warm place or sunlight will do
