To begin with, you would need to have it typed on an old manual typewriter, not on a computer printer. Further, you would definitely not type it on paper of a new size, like the modern popular A4. Best of all, would be if you could find some genuine old typewriting paper to type it on. I think an elderly female relative who worked as a secretary or such like before 1970 would be a good place for you to start looking.

Look Use a brownish colored pastel and smear the paper with it. Then wipe it off with a paper towel.Then roll it up like a funel and leave it like that overnight. Then burn the edges AND ONLY THE EDGES!Ok? I'm sure it will work! Oh you can rip it a little too if you want.

on Council of Elrond, there is a way to age paper really effectivly. I've tried it, it works! also crumpling it up, spilling coffee on it, burning the edges, and spices like cumin and nutmeg ground into. it hope this helps

you can soak it in strongly brewed coffee and put it in the oven on a very low temp. to dry, or hang/lay down to dry, if your afraid of fire hazard. Plus, if you get tired all you have to do is smell ur paper...lol. But it does work, I have used it for history as well

all those things work.. especially crumpling it over and over and over again, staining, and burning the edges also adds a cool touch.. if its due really soon i would print a few copys and try different staining techniques in case one doesnt work out

tea or coffee
wet a tea bag and drag it across your paper, rip the edges--i suggest tea, more control
if you use coffee thats really watered down, it will be darker, but you will have to pour or brush it on.

you can use soak it in soy sauce then let it dry in the sun... make sure it's not typed with ink like inkjet or it's going to run right...

First is the font and then it is the ink and then the paper.
