Photo of Old Papers Used For the Pages of Our Scrapbook



These are papers dipped in coffee to give it an olden and antique effect. This is so because the paper dates backs to the days during the Japanese occupation, which is during the 1940s. Therefore, the paper is worn out and old, having the brown effect on it.

Instructions to make paper:


1. Boil water for 5 mins.
2. Pour packets of coffee powder in a huge tub. Pour the boiled water into the tub.
3. Stir the tub of coffee powder thouroughly until all the powder dissolves and coffee is made.
4. Take some a4-sized blanked papers and gently put them on the surface of the coffee. After the paper turns brown in colour, flip it over for the remaining white areas to turn brown as it dissolves.
5. Repeat step 4 for all 14 papers.
6. Use a hairdryer to dry the paper thouroughly and leave it to sun to dry completely.
