How do I make a piece of paper look old?

I drew a picture for a project and I used crayons and a pencil for it. It is supposed to be a picture of Jacob Marley, so how do I make it look like it’s from the 1800’s?

Yeah it gives it the browny yellow look!
I remember having to make a pirate map for school when I was younger!

Iron it, but only a little. Maybe make it a tiny bit damp first.

it’s a cube of powder you can mix with boiling water to make gravy, or stock!

A stock cube is used in cooking.
The most common are beef stock of chicken stock cubes…
You add water to them, and they add flavour to meals.

Check in your kitchen pantry!

Crumple it up repeatedly and let it soak in tea for a while.

The way you make a piece of paper look old is the same way most of us end up looking old:

1. Work Too Hard.

2. Never Go on Vacation

3. Drink too much

4. Not enough sleep!

5. A lot of stress!

That’s what does it for me! May be you could make the piece of paper do the same?
