Need some old Constitution-looking paper for a grassroots advertising project for Tea Party or otherwise?
1. Brew some tea and let it cool until you can put your fingers in it comfortably. Put it in a dish large enough to hold a sheet of paper.
2. Place a sheet of paper in it and push it down below the water and leave it in for a while. The longer you leave it in, the more it will tan. 10 minutes or so is more than enough.
3. Place the sheet in a baking pan and bake at 350 for a while until it looks crinkly.
You can also use a lighter to burn the edges for an additional aged look.
