soak it in weak tea to give it a yellow aged look and dry it in the oven on really low heat.

I had a project like this in my "gifted" kindergarden class, and I still remember it! Crumple the paper into a wad and then uncrumple it...soak it in a basin with tea, to give it that weather old look, and then let it air dry over night...then when it's fully dry singe the edges just a bit with a lighter. Voila! An "ancient" text!...Have fun and be careful..don't use the oven, you'll have a fire

Yes you can. Use the convection oven for this as the griller burns it. If you want a book to have this look you will have to do it page by page otherwise only the sides get aged. Maps and hand written documents can be used under the griller but keep a sharp eye on it. You can also burn the edges with a lighter.

It can work but could make the paper brittle. Try using a used teabag. Moisten the teabag and wipe over the paper. this will give of a brownish/yellowish colour making the paper look older. It might take a few trys before you get the effect you're looking for.

Try a light cold tea wash over the paper..I think the oven will make it too brittle.

I'm not sure if it would work, but why not try using a wet tea bag instead? if you cover your paper with it and let it dry it will give you the best result. For extra old effect use a lighter to gently singe the edges.

Brush with Walnut Ink - Add a few drops of oil to the top of the paper to vary the colorization - Blend with ochre colored chalks.
Though 'baking' paper will age it, it also turns the paper brittle, making it difficult to handle.

use a brown paper bag, and paint it with oil (meaning put the oil on the bag with a paint prush), then crumple it up, and leave it for a day or two (if you have time, if not, use a blowdryers for like 10 minutes) , and then rinse it off in the sink.... then just use a blowdryer to dry it, and tada! you have old looking paper....

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! To make paper have that old look you use tea bags. You wet the tea bags and rub gently the paper. It stains it from the tea.

you would be able to desire to rub a teabag over the paper and allow it dry and as quickly as dry save folding the paper to places various creases in it. you additionally can attempt diluted gravy browning, yet attempt a attempt piece fist to get the desirable shade.
