Aging Tags

I can't remember where I saw this tip 

but thought it was a good one

Take a regular tag

soak it in a water bath with coffee crystals

once it has soaked up enough of the color

take it out and rub some crystals

on it

so the color will varigate

rinse pat excessive water off

and allow to dry at room temp

 I also did it with

instant tea

white on the left

gold right

After they had dried I ironed them flat

then decorated
