Simple TO DO grunging and aging with a rub technique-

I used this for years and do not mind sharing-More techniques will be listed on my web site under nobledrafts treasures for free of course.

SOOOOO darn simple-

Here are a few ideas

INSTANT COFFEE CHEAP STUFF_

VANILLA EXTRACT-CHEAP KIND

SIMPLE MIX TABLESPOONS OF INSTANT COFFEE IN HOT WATER-MORE COFFEE ADDED THE DARKER THE STAIN-

ADD VANILLA EXTRACT-A LITTLE AT A TIME TO GIVE IT A SLIGHT SMELL

SOAK AND RING OUT FABRICS-OR BRUSH ON-

YOU CAN PUT YOU FABRICS OR FINISHED ITEMS OUTSIDE IN HOT SUN TO DRY .THIS GIVES IT A DARK BUT SOFTER LOOK AND FEEL

BAKE IN THE OVER TURNING ALOT TEMP AT ABOUT 200, TILL DRY-

THIS MAKES THE ITEM HARDER TO THE FEEL AND GIVES IT THE ULTRA PRIM LOOK-YOU CAN RE-DO TO MAKE DARKER.

SIMPLE-

OR THERE IS THE OLD FASHIONED TEA BAG STAIN-TEN TEA BAGS SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER BOIL-SOAK OR COAT ITEMS FOLLOW THE ABOVE-

THERE IS ANOTHER TECHNIQUE OUT THERE-
