did You use parchment? if so, the best way to make it look authentic, is to stain it with tea. I also hope You know a good calligrapher.

If you print it use a Script font that looks similar to the script they used at that time unless you are doing it yourself which may take a lot of time.
The original size was 24 1/2 inches wide and 29 3/4 inches high
You could have gotten a parchment replica for $2.50 at http://www.libertybellmuseum.com/MuseumShop/decindependence.htm

I had to do something similar for school once. I took a coffee grounds, mixed it with a bit of water, and lightly smeared it on the paper to look like dirt. I also put it in the oven on a very low heat for no more than a minute. It makes the paper really fragile looking. If nothing else, burn the edges. :D
