After you dunk your paper in the tea, carefully wrinkle it a bit, then place it between two old towels and press out most of the liquid.

Then, you can actually iron it with a regular clothes iron (no steam) to finish drying it most of the way. It won't take your wrinkles out, either.

Regular card stock, or even a nice weight of parchment will work, but regular paper can get really frail, and may jam your printer next step.

Run the card stock through your printer with your info on it (There is a really cool free font called "Nasty" that you can get at http://www.dafont.com that looks like old west lettering to me)....

Then, take it outside and burn around the edges a bit but be careful you don't torch the whole thing. Very Happy You can then seal it if you really want to, with a spray sealer for calligraphy, available at an art store for a couple bucks.

So far we've done the tea and to the point the poster is curling. Wrinkling poster board is just not possible it is way way too thick. We tried slightly scorching some thick paper to maybe paste into a section but about set my kitchen curtains on fire... lol Slightly scorching is just a fine line from ON FIRE. lol

Adventures in class projects!
