How to Make Paper Look Worn

Ever need a special effect for a school project, a letter or just plain fun? Here's how to do it.

1. Find a piece of notebook paper. Printer paper doesn't work very well.
2. Get Cola, and pour it onto the paper. Sugared soda makes the paper sticky and unpleasant looking. Don't use any kind soda that does not use caramel coloring. It won't show up well.
3. Write a note or whatever you want on the paper.
4. Roll the paper up into a ball and step on it. You can do anything you want to it. As long as it gets wrinkled.
5. Unwrap the paper and dab a bit of soda onto the words.
6. Go into the bathroom and blow-dry the whole sheet of paper. If you don't have a blow dryer, put it next to a heater and let it sit for a few hours.
7. Once the paper has dried, get a cotton ball and dab water all over the paper.
8. Blow dry again.
9. Now add a bit more tears or rips then you're done!

• Be careful when putting the soda on. Do it over a sink.
• Be mindful of leaving flammable materials on heaters.
