Making older paper very easily with Théalie

1) In a container, dilute instant coffee (Be attentive to obtain an highly concentrated mix)

There to plunge very basic paper (here there are simply sheets for my printer), which you ruffled and will have put in ball:

Stir up them well to impregnate all paper.

2) Withdraw quickly and open each sheet very delicately

At this stage the paper is hyper fragile. Handle with care ! If it tears by places, it is not a big problem, quite to the contrary.

Pose on absorbing paper, without flattening it completely.

3) Add some soluble freeze-dried coffe granule on the paper and let dry…

If that appears too pale for you, put a sheet untreated with side and you will see the difference:

It remains you to use it…

Here for a basic back of ATC, I have inked contours with a dark ink and I applied a stamp imitating the writing.

And here is, my back is ready to be decorated!

You have multiple manners tu use this paper, so make a good quantity by it in once and your reserve is ready for the months to come.

We often forget to serve to us as these very simple techniques. Do not forget to wash you the hands after having left paper, the coffee is likely to impregnate itself by the pores of the skin.
