Is there a way to do the staining on paper that has ink on it?

Agreed! It’s a fun craft that adds even more atmosphere to recorded spells :scroll: :grinning: :sparkles:

I haven’t tried it with inked paper before, but I imagine the liquid would make the ink spread and you’d be left with blotchy writing.

Maybe if the ink was really durable and someone used a very, very light brew (with as little liquid as possible)? :thinking:

I would definitely do this before writing on the paper

I think with the printed paper I’ll take a damp tea bag and go around the edges and maybe a tiny bit in the middle. Burn the edges a little bit. If you crinkle the paper it also looks aged. I’m not sure I’d do that though :confused:
