Making the newspapers look old

Once all of the newspapers were created I decided to make them old and worn so that it would seem like Tony Crawley had researched into the background of the Earnshaw hotel and uncovered these articles.

I covered the paper with tea to give them the stereotypical old paper look as if they'd been printed for too long.

I followed up by baking the paper in the oven for 5 minutes to dry up all the tea and make the paper curl over.

After leaving the paper alone to dry up the remaining excess tea I will scan them into the computer and place onto the Investigator's blog so it seems like he had found these articles and is writing about them.
