The paper shaping technique is called "Distressing" (literally Distress - "Disaster").

Great use of "old" sheets were obtained in scrapbooking, in creating original letters, invitations, greeting cards. There are many ways to make up, each of which will give your paper with various shades, texture. You can create a torn edge on paper, toned (paints, ink), cover crekylur, imitate age-old scratches and scratches. Flight of fantasies in this technique is not limited, although it will be very fascinating and not difficult to give an antique view of your letters and postcards.
I will describe and show one of the ways to make coffee with a solution.

For work it will be necessary:

* Three teaspoons of soluble coffee;
* glass of water;
* Printer paper (you can take watman, cardboard);
* Place for drying;
* Iron and unnecessary rag;
* Candle;
* Little scissors.

1. Imit coffee in a glass of warm water, pour the solution into a wide container. Plunge the sheet of paper. Then let the time to dry it (you can decompose it on the sink or hang over the window neatly pricked).

2. When the leaf is driving, apply several drops of the same solution on it, for a larger effect you can add several coffee granules and get into the darkest rag, so it turns out the darker places on paper. Dry.
3. If you want to print the text on the sheet, then swing the paper with the iron, so that it becomes smooth, and the printer does not "shock". Print text.
4. Get the paper again, now you can already pour edges with a candle or hot electric stove (if you wish, you can hold the paper above the candle, just do it carefully, so as not to burn, then darkened stains are formed).

5. When the paper snacks a little and becomes slightly wet, fold it four times, then carefully check the sheet with your hands, as if pressing the rag, so we imitate the reference. You can scratch the needle with a needle, and then hesitate these places (on dry) with a burning ashes or edge of a burning paper (scratches will manifest).
6. In the seed grounds (when adding in four), the paper should be lost a little between the cutting blades of scissors. Do it carefully, if suddenly breaks, do not worry, such an effect will give more belonging to the antiquity. You can wipe a grater for the legs if there are no specialized tools.

Experiment in the color scheme (you can make a solution with green tea or carcade), try to dip a sheet into milk and pour over the candle.

Paper makeup techniques

The most common and demanded technicians are ways to make paper and other materials, as it allows you to achieve maximum stylization for old pages. All the ways of scuffs and criticism are welcome here. Do not fear, press-three and meters, than terrible paper looks like, the better!

"Distressing" (literally Distress - "Disaster") - so called the technique of parting pages. Under this name, many varieties of aging are combined. This is the creation of a torn edge, cracker, toning, creating scuffs and scratches, as well as the use of ink.

Tea-coffee-affection, or making paper makeup

Let's consider in detail the techniques of paper and photography, creating a torn edge and scratches.

If you want to decorate your work with the old sheets, then it is not necessary to run through the flea markets and bukinistic shops in search of old sheets, newspapers and ribbon books. Create all this old one with your own hands. It will not take much time, and all work will be held for a cup of coffee! But be careful, do not confuse a cup from which you drink, with a cup from which you draw.

Cardboard Equipment Technique (Dense Paper)

1 . Flame solution "Fold" a sheet of cardboard. To do this, moisten a sponge in tea, then squeeze a little and scroll through the remaining leaf of cardboard. Leave cardboard to complete drying.

2 . Repeat the procedure. But now, without waiting until the cardboard is dry, darken the edges. For this brush you have a coffee. Give spots a little bit, excess fluid to remove the paper napkin. Sweep a little cardboard.

3. Large iron brush make scratches along the edges of the sheet. In order for everything to look natural, make arbitrary semicircular movements.

4. Brush apply coffee to scratches. You will immediately be visible to the whole "drawing" that you scratched. If somewhere there is not enough damage, then first dry the cardboard, and then repeat everything.

5. To achieve the same misfortune and compilation, the middle of the sheet should be processed. Large plastic brushed circular movements wipe the middle. You will with a small layer of cardboard. At the same time, try so that the wipes look uneven and chaotic.

6 . Dry cardboard and then remove all paper katov from it. You can hang a little edge. We carry out the small blocks of the iron brush. Work very carefully not to overdo it.

Slim Paper Equipment

1 . List of paper remember. Combine it and straighten. Repeat it several times so that you have all the sheet covered with small folds.

2 . Scatter sheet, smooth it with your hands. Prepare a cup with strong brewing and sponge.

3. "Fold" tea with tea brew. Moch the sponge and spend several times on paper so that the welding flies into all the cracks. Sweep a little paper.

4 . Brush to drain the edges of the paper. To do this, boil welding around the edges. And again you dry the paper, but do not bring it to complete drying.

5 . Tow brush. Put small points in black ink. Apply them chaotic around the edges. Points can be of different size. Put them without thinking, but at the same time and does not get involved.

6 . A wide wet brush is a bit in place of the point so that the mascara blurred slightly and somewhere slightly smaller.

7 . A sponge wet the excess moisture and at the same time add additional prints. The sponge absorbs an excess mascara and prints it elsewhere.

8 . Little iron brush "wipe" the edge of the sheet. So that you get a natural old torn edge, make the movement with a brush from the center of the sheet to the edges.

9. Add small damage to the brush and in other places of the sheet. After leaving the paper on the table until it is completely drying. And already with dry paper, you can smear the kat and somewhere wishes to get the edges.

How to generate paper? This question often concerns fond of scrapbooking and lovers of original messages. The article will tell how to do at home.

This article is intended for persons over 18 years

Have you already turned 18?

How to generate paper? Main points

There are many ways to make such an effect using the screwdriver. You can also do without them without them using the natural energy of the Sun. At home, give the age sheet of paper in just a few minutes or in a few hours, including the drying time of the crafts. To do this, have:

• paper that is subject to aging;
• bath for soaking;
• pigment;
• tweezers.

Depending on which the effect is expected, the pigment is selected. Make a copier paper with your own hands. It is only important that it does not use lighters and candles for processing sheet edges. These tools are recommended to use those faces that have reached 18 years.

To make a central paper, you must first memorize it with your hands. This stage can be missed and proceed to the following. In addition, it can be argued with her hands, it can be scratching with nails, passing around the edges or bend in an arbitrary direction. For greater adhesion, it is recommended to sprinkle with a surface with a spray with a pulverizer. When mechanical damage is done, it is necessary to move to its aging.

The sheet can be used clean or already with a drawing or inscription. It is advisable to print an inscription on the printer, and not to write from hand. The edges are also recommended to process sandpaper to create lightness, or candles / lighters to create traces from the transferred fire. If you leave the edges even, it will not be possible to completely pass the effect of time.

Artificially aged paper will be the basis for creating photo albums in the scrapbooking technique or for writing invitations.

All methods where it is necessary to use water, require time to dry out the crafts. To complete the aging procedure quickly, you can use thermal surface treatment. It can be the use of an iron or microwave oven.

For examination, it is not recommended to make such paper. This is more like a comic version of the gradation of the leaves. Aging is amenable to all sheets with text and without it. If the text is already applied, then it should be followed carefully during the holding time in the solution of crafts. If you reap, then the text will deteriorate, and you have to do everything again. It is a little easier with clean sheets. With a long stay in the solution, they can crawl into their hands, so you should always stick to the specified time and not exceed it, wanting to achieve even more effect.

If you want to make an antique effect in unusual color, you can use green. Just a few drops of a glass of water make a solution saturated and beautiful. If you want to achieve color divorces on the surface, then the greenstock is not necessary. Instead of the zeal, you can take manganese. Several crystals are recommended to dissolve in the glass of water, and put into a solution of the sheet.

If you are interested in how else you can give an unusual paper paper, then moistened in water, it is put on a rusty surface. Over time, rust appears on it.

If you want to use the most traditional ways of aging, you will need tea and coffee. If you do not want to dry them, then use the oven for baking. To do this, the trained sheet should be put on the baking sheet. His edges should not go beyond the frame. The oven should be included at 90 degrees and make up tea brewing or coffee on paper. For a uniform distribution of pigment, it is necessary to use a brush or foam sponge. When the oven heats up, the baking sheet should be placed in it for 10 minutes. During this time, paper will have time to paint and dry. If a little paint fell on the bottom of the opposite, then it is not scary. It is absorbed on the wrong layer of crafts.

To properly arrange paper, treated coffee, it should be wiped with coffee grains in some places. This will create an even greater effect of antiquity and the ruthless effect of time on things.

View accessible ways of aging paper can be on the Internet. There are many videos, telling detailed about each of them. If you want to achieve the most effect, and the role time does not play, then the paper can be put on 10 years and forget about it. To give years you can do without paints and tools. If outside the window the sun, then the sheet can be left under the sunny rays for several days. In the summer, the process will go much faster than in the spring. If during these few days the sun will hide clouds and rain will go, the process will delay.

For welding, leaf tea should be used. It will evenly give color. A couple of tablespoons of tea sheets should be pouring a glass of boiling water and leave for 10 minutes. Further it should be strain. In the cooked bath you should pour tea and gently put the paper there. We are waiting for 2 minutes and take out. On the flat surface it is recommended to decompose the paper and leave until complete drying. Optionally, in some places you can apply a few drops of welding. This will create an uneven surface with realistic species.

Creating an antiquity effect with coffee is very similar to the previous option. First preparing strong coffee. For this, 5 teaspoons of ground coffee are flooded with 200 ml of water, and insist for 10 minutes. Coffee must be strain and pour into the bath. Place a cast or a leaf there and leave for 10 minutes. After the expiration of the specified segment of time, the sheet is removed and dried by a natural way on a flat surface.

If you want to make stains on paper, you can use high fat milk (it is better to take homework). Tassel must be applied milk, and after drying itching paper iron. Under the influence of high temperatures, dark brown spots appear.

How to form paper in the microwave?

To form paper in the microwave, it is necessary to post the sheet into the container and put everything into the microwave. Temperature should be at least 200 degrees. Pre-crawl must be mixed in tea or coffee. Make an iron effect of antiquity can be without using other ways or in a complex with them. If you use the iron, then you need to stock time and patience to successfully complete the work. In the oven, the sheets are baked together with the solution, and the finished product is obtained at the output. After that, the paper is recommended to leave half an hour, and then start drawing or writing text.

How to generate paper without water?

If there is no desire to bother with water when creating a craft, then it can be made in a dry way. It implies the use of dry pigments for aging. You can take a pencil stiff with pastel colors and reck out it. By rubbing it is necessary to apply the resulting powder on the surface with different intensity. If you take several pencil colors, such as yellow and gray, it will be better to convey the effect of time. There is no difference how you want to make a crawler, (without coffee or with it) at the exit you will get a great result. You can ask a question: "Why do why deal with the creation of ancient on paper, if this can be done faster with photoshop?" But the process of creating at home is very pleased with the result, because every time you turn out all new patterns, divorces and colors.

How to form paper edges?

Treatment of edges occupies the same important place as the processing of the entire sheet. If you want to create the effect of the transfer of a fire, then the edges of the candle or a lighter should be adjacent. But it is very dangerous, so it is better to deal with this over the sink. In the event of a lift of the entire crafts, you need to turn on the water and prevent the flame spread.

Scrapbooking is a popular technique among masters. So create unique photo albums and books using photos. This is not just a photo album, but the history of life. It is quite logical that the effect of aging elements is often used here. Photos, cuts from newspapers, letters can intentionally compile. For this, the methods listed above are used. The use of several ways in one photo album will only decorate it and make fascinating.

For the people of creative, such a topic, for sure, will not cause any surprise, because they constantly invent something, create and prepare that the use of the paper is for them in the order of things. Someone may have questions: why do you need to make it? Is it poorly written on ordinary paper?

All this, of course, so, sometimes the usual white sheets are really not suitable, especially if you decide to prepare some thematic scrolls, manuscripts, arrange, yes or simply started some kind of decorative work. Another common phenomenon in which it does not do without such paper ,.

This is a type of creative activity, as a result of which are created, specially decorated, family albums or photocollages. For such creativity, photos, newspaper cuts or any other images that are used using tactile and visual receptions, which are transmitted to some event or a story from your life.

It can be a wedding, a child's birthday, a trip to the sea or another country, covered by the themes are the most diverse, but for registration, often use paper, reorganized in a certain way.

So, there is a sufficiently large number of ways that allows you to get such paper, which as if several centuries lay on a dusty regiment or kept in the secret libraries of the Great Kings. If you still do not know how to form paper with your own hands, then pay attention to this article, we will tell you some of the most efficient and interesting options.

We use tea

What an amazing and useful drink! Toning, thirst quenches, fills our body with useful substances, has healing properties ... and also knows how to make paper! So, what do we need to turn new leaves in the wishes of the sheets? We write:

• tea welding - 5-10 tbsp. Spoons (how hard your brew will succeed, the effect of the composition will turn out brighter. For light yellowness, 5-spoons are enough);
• boiling water - 250 ml;
• white paper sheet A4 format;
• capacity for soaking sheet;
• clean surface for drying.

To give paper the most ancient look, it can be preset and straighten, and you can only make a few chances. Further we understand with our tea: Poured welding with boiling water, let's breed 10-15 minutes under a closed lid.

After that, they flicker through the siete and overflow into the prepared container. It is better that she esteemed a small bath, and a sheet in it could fit in a non-bent state. The next step is to form. We lower the sheet of paper in the welding, we leave it there just a couple of minutes.

After the expiration of time, carefully get our sheet, after which we carefully lay on the prepared surface. After he dry, it can be swallowed from above the iron.

In order to give our sheet as a realistic appearance, it can be sprinkled by a couple of brew drops. If you want to get a paper that "survived the fire", as a result of which dark spots appeared on it, they simply burn her edges with a lighter or a candle. Ready!

Coffee makeup

Probably, as a result, it is this method that the most realistic result is obtained, which can be easily confused with ancient scrolls or papers that survived not one century. So, what we need:

• natural ground coffee - 5 h. spoors;
• boiling water - 200 ml;
• sheet of paper A4;
• capacity for soaking;
• surface for drying.

To begin with, we will prepare paper - a well jump, many, and then we will spread. I will brew coffee: for this we cook it in the Turk, then insist for another 10 minutes under the closed lid. After the time of coffee, it is necessary to strain, carefully, then let him stand for a few minutes so that the whole sediment goes to the bottom.

We transfix coffee into the prepared container and lower the paper into it. Again, we leave for 3-5 minutes, not longer, otherwise it is simply to get together and you will not be able to pull it out of the water in solid state. Drying remained - lay out a sheet on a flat surface, we succeed in and, if desired, again stroke the iron.

Milk formation

If everything is clear with coffee and tea, there is at least a shade there, how can ordinary milk can add ages a piece of paper? Completely maybe. Such an artificial way is less popular than the previous ones, and in vain, with it, the sheets of paper acquire a special shade of antiquity. So, what we need:

• milk, better home and fat - 150 ml;
• white paper sheet A4 format;
• drawing bruster;
• surface for drying.

To begin, it is necessary to prepare paper: To do this, cut the sharp corners of the sheet, turning them into rounded, and so that they do not look too carefully, in the edges you can walk the sandpaper, the rest of the sheet, by the way, can also be affected.

You can create paper and easiest way: we use bright sunny days! Prepared leaves just need a few days to hang under the right sunlight, most importantly, watch it not to get under the rain. If you want as a result to get realistic ancient scrolls, then for the beginning, do the watman long, but rather narrow stripes.

They need to be based on the same principle as we described above. Then we turn them into the tubes, as it should be the scrolls, and bring the edges to the burning candle, giving them to light up. When you see that they have fallen well, instantly extinguish the fire under a powerful jet of water.

All the scrolls are definitely rinsed to get rid of extra ashes, we succeed, and then send them to "get it up" in the oven. The last stage is the applying of the decor - the words, the necessary text or monogram, which would correspond to your subject. Such scrolls are often used for thematic weddings, parties or quests.

Fans of various homemade constantly need to look for some new tips, how to do something interesting with their own hands. Now I want to tell about at home. This technique can be useful if you need to cook original invitations, write a letter or just an interesting note to your beloved person.

How to form paper at home?

Consider several simple ways through which from the modern snow-white sheet you can get a piece of "ancient papyrus". By the way, everything you need for such a reincarnation will be found in every home.

Method First: Tea

To do this, brew this drink of a certain fortress (the color of the page will depend on this) and put the leaves there overnight. The next paper will look like it was conceived. You can also experiment with CAYA, from them remain on paper Cute mugs.

Method number 2: coffee with milk

The following way, telling how to form paper at home, implies the use of coffee with sugar and milk. This ready-made drink must be poured onto the paper, and then through the gauze to try the sheet. You will also need to work with the edges, breaking them manually.

Method Three: Recall Lenin Grandpa

How to form paper at home, if there is no coffee or tea at hand? Use milk. So, the paper must be put on a flat surface and on top of the tassel prey to "punish" her milk. Let the leaf dry, and then try to try the iron through the PC. The page will gradually begin shirt. Please note: the fatty milk, the darker will be finished leaf. This way is good to use if you need to give the product a miracle of the paper saved from the paper. The result is just awesome!

Method number 4: Varnish!

And now we will tell you how to quickly form paper. To do this, use which is sold in stores for artists. It needs to cover the surface of the sheet, and it will begin to crack, acquiring a certain shade. However, it is worth mentioning that later it will not work on this paper, so the inscription must be done before.

Fifth, classic method

But the easiest and surest way to make up paper is to put it under sun rays. The process will be pretty long, but there are practically impossible failures or any misses - paper will be evenly.

Method number 6: Not for the faint of heart

There is another one, but rather a dangerous way how to form paper at home. To do this, it must be put in the oven for a certain time. But in such a situation it is very important to correctly calculate the temperature and time to avoid the fire. Still, this method is better to use in extremely extreme cases.

Treatment of regional

Taking over how to artificially form paper, do not miss one very important moment out of sight. The edges of your "manuscript" should be at least slightly battered. The most faithful one - unevenly tear the stripes manually (the edges of the sheet can be moistened, so they will be easier). On top, it all needs to be easily cut with the flame of the candle, then the edge will look natural and very aesthetic. If you want, you can also make some dark spots on paper (again with a flame). Just hold your leaflets a little over the candle. However, it is necessary to be extremely careful that it does not break through.

When I gathered to make me paper, my relatives threw questions. Here are some of them: why? Why manually, if possible in photoshop? And what will you do now with her?

If you, nevertheless, decided to engage in paper, then you do not stand such questions, because there is scrapbooking, the design of the framework and photographs, but simply full of decorative works, which are not unthinkable without such paper.

So, there are many ways to make up paper. Now I will tell about the four simplest and, from my point of view, the most effective.

Equality of tea.

We need:

1. Black leaf tea - 5 - 10 tsp. (The string of brew - the older, I took 5 spoons, for light yellowness).
2. Boiling water - 250ml.
3. Surface for drying.

Preparation of paper.

I remembered paper, you could do just a few chances, it was possible not to mine at all.

Welding.

Brew tea with boiling water and insist 10 minutes under the closed lid. Focus. Pour in the bath.

Equality.

Lower in the welding, while still young, leaf. We leave for a minute or two.

Drying.

Let's use the paper from the bath and lay out on the smooth surface.

After drying, I swore a sheet with an iron.

A few drops of tea from above on the finished sheet, give paper even more realistic appearance.

The edges can be burned with a lighter / candle. You can hold the electric stoves above the hot burner, and dark spots will appear - "Fires from fires", which "survived" paper.

Remember the fire safety!

Coffee solution.(my favorite way)

We need:

1. Natural ground coffee - 5 ppm with top.
2. Boiling water - 200 ml.
3. Bath, for soaking sheet.
4. White paper sheet for printer.
5. Surface for drying.

Preparation of paper.

Made paper strongly mint.

Welding.

Brew coffee with boiling water and insist 10 minutes under the closed lid. Fix very carefully, we defend a few minutes to assimilate the sediment. Pour in the bath.

Equality.

Lower the paper. We leave for five minutes. With too much diligent paper "falls into the insanity" and "refuses to get out" from the bath one piece.

Drying.

After drying, I, again, storated the sheet with an iron.

Now you can sit on three hours for fortune telling on the coffee grounds.

Milk formation.

We need:

1. Milk - 150 ml. (Milk must be fat, best - home).
2. Tassel.
3. White paper sheet for printer.
4. Surface for drying.
5. Iron.

Preparation of paper.

The corners of the sheet I rounded with manicure scissors. So that the edges did not look too neat "walked" on them emery paper, and all over the sheet, for one, too. Many or not the paper. I remembered.

Equipment (1 part).

We decline the sheet and "paint" with his milk on both sides. We give time to soak.

Drying.

Unlock leaf on a flat surface. For a happy chance, a cutting board, on which I dried sheets, turned out to be threaded. Another wet leaf, I neatly produced paper into the thread. After drying, the ornament will remain on the sheet.

Action (2 part).

Now we connect a hot iron to the process. I stroke before the appearance of brown spots on the sheet, as well as the Spripes on your forehead.

Away to the sun.(Most economical way).

We need:

1. White paper sheet.
2. Couple of sunny summer days.

Preparation of paper.

Many or not the paper. I did not meal.

Equality.

We hide the paper so that the light fell on it all the time.

Dancing ritual dancing and bring sacrifices to the gods that would not freeze the rain.

The following method is also referred to the same to the formation, although I would call it coloring.

Coloring with green.

We need:

1. Sheet of white paper.

2. Diamond green, alcohol solution 1%, simply green - 5-10 drops (depending on the necessary source color).

3. Cold water - 200 ml.

4. Bath, for soaking paper.

5. Surface for drying (can always remain green).

6. Rubber gloves. It is possible without them, but the manicure will not be French at all.

Preparation of paper.

Many paper.

Solution.

Pour water in the bath, add green, mix. You can not mix, then a chance appears to strip beautiful divorces.

Equality.

Lower the paper. We leave for a minute or remove it immediately in the case of drifts.

Drying.

We carry out paper and lay out on a flat surface.

I was fascinated by corrugated surfaces and laid out a sheet on a plastic cover with a cross in the middle.

After drying, the sheet was stored with an iron.

In the same way coloring manganese. In my farm, unfortunately, it was not found.

Focusing the topic I also decided to try iodine. But the result turned out to be completely unexpected - the sheet became purple. Here I remembered something about phenolphthalein and experiments in the school office of chemistry, but immediately forgot.

Another way to make up a wet leaf to the surface prone to rust.

It turns out very effective rusty paper. On it, after it is possible to write leaking letters with the asscription "I do not rust for me!".

P.S. I will be grateful for comments - they motivate well on subsequent master classes 🙂 and do not forget that I am still engaged in wedding photography 🙂
