    Instant coffee is a great way to do this without having to deal with the grounds. You also can bette control the darkness and viscosity of the liquid you use to dye you paper.

      Great point! But if my barista PC finds instant coffee in my house I’m done for!

    Also Lemon juice and baking it in the oven if all you have is normal printer paper. It makes great wanted posters.

    I love handouts. My process is a bit simpler. I use regular printer paper, and black tea because it's what I have on hand. No need for a foam brush, I just let the paper soak thoroughly in it - tearing is rarely a problem. Sometimes I leave the tea bag sitting on it to make a darker splotch. Then I let the paper dry in the dish rack or on a cookie sheet.
    I like how yours looked coming out of the oven. I'll try that next time. Thanks for the tips. Love your setup. Jealous that your DM sent you a three page lore drop!

      Normally I would use tea as well, but I found the saturation of the coffee works a little faster and keeps the paper from becoming totally soaked; that being said I also have no patience so I go overboard with any of it

    Wow! Finally a good use for coffee. Also char marks are cool and add character. :)
    Some interesting ideas here, and an entertaining video.

    This showed up in my feed again. and I did not remember it right away. Sadly, can only like it once. I also do not recall unsubscribing, so resubbed now.
    Keep up the great content.

    Apparently soy sauce makes a great dye for aging paper too. I haven't tried it yet, but I saw it on another video a while back form another channel.

    I just tear my printer paper into quarters and write wanted posters, requests, and notices on them along with a corresponding picture.
    I use the same method for making fake Polaroid photos as if I’ve captured a special moment in the characters’ lives. (Magic.)
