The idea is simple: to take white paper, make it look older, printable, and then print some graphics on it.
First step is to make coffe. Use whatever coffe You have but not instant one.
Then paint the pages with the coffe. Do it at least twice.
Now leave the pages for dry.
If You want regular look of aged paper - let it dry on flat surface.
If You want more natural look of the paper - let it dry on a sun on a grass
After drying You will get old, aged paper which looks cool, but it has a lot of bumps. You need to make it more flat to use it in a printer.
Sollution is simple-do the ironing.
After that You are ready to print whatever You want in ordinary printer.
I recommend to pring B&W graphics but of course You can experiment with colored one. Maybe it will also look cool.
