Get an adult to make tea with boiling water and leave it to cool with the teabag still in. 1.
Crumple up the white paper into a tight ball and then flatten it out again on the table. If you want a smooth looking paper don t do the crumpling, just leave it flat. 2.
With your white paper on plastic (or a surface that can get wet), use a cold and soggy teabag to wipe over the paper until it is brown and soggy. Squeeze the tea bag in certain places or the paper to make darker patches. 3.
Leave your wet paper to dry flat somewhere like a drying rack or radiator. 4.
Once your paper is dry it is ready to use, but you can go one step further and add water drops onto the paper to form patterns and rings. Flick drops of tea or clean water onto the dry, stained paper and leave to dry a second time. 5.
