How to make paper look old!

[@doorhandle251]

if u want it more dark then I would recommend tea! just put a scoop of tea powder into a bowl of water,and keep in the microwave for 1-2 mins.Strain out the water.Use a muslin cloth to squeeze the tea used to get more of it.Trust me I tried and it made the paper look older.After dipping the paper in the tea water,you can also paint the edges with brown watercolor :)

[@vincentv7038]

Sorry for asking but with what i can write on the paper so it will remain without destroying everything

[@matildagrace6609]

i used pencil, but you can write on if after it dries

Let me tell mine idea just have some water in bowl and add tea powder and boil it then put your all papers into that water then let it dry for overnight

[@P.ChubbyCheeks]

It also looks really cool if you crumple it first then dip it and unravel it carefully

[@matildagrace6609]

good idea!

[@GustawStudios23]

Okay but how can someone make paper look like an old manuscript

[@matildagrace6609]

i don’t know it just makes it look ancient i didn’t make the trend

[@shourisama]

Take some paper and scrunch it up, then unfold it and light all of the edges on fire in small bits and blow the flame out after you have lit the edges and then make a coffee paste that's not too thick and not too thin either and brush it on both sides of the paper and wait for it to dry, I recommend going outside when lighting the paper on fire so you don't get carbon dioxide in your eyes or lungs

Welcome to fact or cap, were if I get proven wrong I have to get slapped

Ya koi vintage paper hai kya didi 📜

[@swathisudhakar3847]

Boil the water then add coffee

[@matildagrace6609]

ayy thanks

[@julijasabute9097]

and....nothing, because it's even not a coffee, just water 🤔😁 Use HOT water and INSTANT coffee, and you will see real result 😏🔥

[@matildagrace6609]

it doesn’t matter what u use, cold water makes it dark too but not as dark

[@julijasabute9097]

@@matildagrace6609 but in this video the coffee didn't even melt! 😁 it is a water, not coffee 😏

[@Simplifiree]

It works! I usually paint the coffee on the paper tho as i like it dark

[@matildagrace6609]

that’s a really good idea! i should try that

[@na_fish_a]

Does the paper get sticky?

[@matildagrace6609]

nope, it doesn’t :)

[@na_fish_a]

@@matildagrace6609 thank youu

[@AsArtYoutube]

Exactly! And I don't add as much water and I don't rinse it.

[@chinko7501]

Ok guys listen a tea bag is the best way to do this give a proper yellowish brown colour like an old vintage handwritten scroll colour thank me whenever

[@matildagrace6609]

either works

[@Axis_slayer]

"Hey what's that smell?" "Sorry just my notes"

[@tomeubank3625]

Potassium permanganate does a much better job of making paper and cloth look authentically old since it actually oxidizes the fibers.

[@TheSaiyanDoge]

and burn the edges

[@joshuaalleyne6779]

So you can also use a tea bag which works very good just dip the dry tea bag in water and squeeze out the brown tea water

[@ungradedshivam1714]

How many is that

[@oweemcguire3573]

Thank you, I have been wondering how to do this, and this tutorial is very simple and easy to follow

[@rishikthapgr]

In place of coffee powder what we can use?

[@matildagrace6609]

you can also use tea powder or even soy sauce

[@havenwilliams7987]

It looks the same

[@matildagrace6609]

i think you have to use a certain amount of coffee bc it works i’ve done it several times

[@johnthedon444]

can we do this with tea powder

[@matildagrace6609]

i’m sure that you probably could

[@johnthedon444]

Thank you

[@johnthedon444]

It works tea powder also works Thank you for your appreciation

[@marciarosa5897]

Did u use instant coffee or regular coffee?

[@matildagrace6609]

i honestly have no idea i think either will work

[@deboriii]

@@matildagrace6609it will, i looked at other tutorials and it works with both! (sorry for being rlly late)

[@CRAZYSQUARES]

That ink is amazing at withstanding the water. I need that *now*

[@matildagrace6609]

it’s actually just regular pencil

[@CRAZYSQUARES]

@@matildagrace6609 wow that pencil is very pigmented

[@erickluu7911]

I don't want my paper to smell like coffee

[@matildagrace6609]

the smell fades dude

[@Sprinklespark08]

I just tried this using black tea and soy sauce. It worked, but now the dog wants to eat the paper.

[@definitelynot_tay]

Idk where my mom puts coffee

[@jackolefty2414]

I have no idea what I need this for but I’m. Try it😊

[@32smackaroons]

Will this ruin paper with pencil on it?

[@matildagrace6609]

it didn’t for me

[@rejithkumar4891]

Your supposed to see it fully brown i think it is supposed to be heated

[@seviathanvoneldritch4284]

"not the it's they"

[@eternitywithjesus777]

Darker would make it look old

[@matildagrace6609]

fair

[@Your_Melody2]

Its called "vintage paper" if ur wondering

[@matildagrace6609]

yeah

[@rejithkumar4891]

I thought coffee was already in the water before you added it in? Why is it brown before?

[@matildagrace6609]

probably a stained bowl

[@lanyiyu3103]

Proof it works?

[@matildagrace6609]

lol okay i’ll show proof but trust me it works 😂

[@aestheticdaisy14312]

It works ✨✨
