Reuse old paper or card stock and give it that vintage / aged look
Using tea staining technique, reuse old paper or card stock. In this case, i used old sheet music that i was going to put in the recycling bin. Although this technique uses teabags (I drink a lot of tea!) , the same thing can be done using coffee grounds or natural dyes such as red onion peels. In fact the longer you leave it to infuse the darker the colour.
