I think you so much for this idea I would of  never known what to do for ageing paper for ny projects.:] (hint:burn the edges for some more aged look.)

i love this idea, but i doubt it would work on this handwritten note my friend gave me, would it? she wrote an excerpt of Romeo and Juliet on the paper, but i think the ink will smudge. oh well, shall find something else to make antique :D 

I never thought of sprinkling instant coffee! What a great idea!

thanks man i need to write a book about romeo and juliet and this will make it lokk sweet as hell thanks a lot man.

We do this for our kids every now and then but with tea instead of coffee.  We take the paper, draw a pirate map on it, crinkle it up, rip a few corners and then antique it.  Voilà...authentic pirate treasure map for the kids to take on an advernture.  Sometimes we then laminate it so it lasts longer and holds up to rolling it up and unrolling it 20 times a minute.

Cool tutorial ! Great idea !

Maven,

I think it's a great idea.  I'm trying really hard to make things concise and complete as well as snappy and clever.  Maybe I'm shooting for too much.  I've been searching for something that gives some technical writing direction on a how-to, but I haven't found anything.  If someone was right next to me in my studio, I could teach them and show them at the same time.  I love the idea!!!

MHET, that's not a bad idea! I've never thought about writing such a thing. I'll run it by Bruno and see what he says. Maybe it could even be a feature article??

DIY-

How about doing a post on writing a really good How-To and posting it.  I am trying to improve my tutorial skills.  Hellllppppppp!!!!!
