Dip the paper into tea water VERY CAREFULLY. The paper can rip. Let it dry a day or so. The paper will be very stiff when dried though. I did this in 5th grade when I had to make old western paper. Also I remember lighting it on fire in a few places to give it an extra old look.

No chemicals...use tea or coffee. Wipe the paper with a tea or coffee-soaked cloth until you get the desired color. Don't put the paper in the liquid as it will fall apart if you leave it in there.

I don't know what chemicals you use! I do know that you can use tea though. Just crumple the paper so it will look worn, then uncrinkle it. Pour the tea on (not too much or it'll just look brown) and then let it dry. It will look old.

just use a tea bag. We did that in grade 3 with pirate treasure maps. We singed the edges and lightly dipped them in sugarless tea! It works like a charm!

look old? doesn't coffee work? like you soak the paper in coffee and it gets that old, antique-y feeling? I saw that somewhere... oh it was in a movie LOL. yeah i'm pretty sure if you soak the paper in coffee you'll be set.
