It depends on the ink you use!. Just to be save, dye the paper with tea bags first, then write on it!. Old papers don't have burned edges, so forget that!.!.!. but they do have a tendency to have torn edges and corners!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

soak it in a cookie pan with a slight amount of coffee for long enough to let it soak up but not dissovle, probably around 3-10 minutes or so, and then take it out gently and let it dry over night, once it dries you may be able to pull off sticking it in the printer and getting a print out of it, I wouldn't garentee it though because I've never tried, and then once you have printed everything on it burn the edges with a lighter or in the fire place!. =)-Www@QuestionHome@Com

you do the tea bags first, you dont want to smudge the ink!. you can burn the edges to make it look good aswell!. also, you should write in a nice old fashioned scriptWww@QuestionHome@Com

Additional info!. !. !. Make at least 5 copies, not just 1!. !. in case of goof ups!. !. !. Good Luck!. !. !.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can burn the edges and make it look dated that way!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
