I've got several pieces of primary colored tissue paper (gift wrap/stuffing type), and I'm wondering if it's possible to "age" or "fade" the colors so that they're a little more vintage looking.
I considered spritzing them with a mist of tea, but I'm afraid it will just ruin them, as thin as they are.
I don't think I have enough time to just set them out in sunlight to fade them that way, although I do have a lamp that mimics sunlight, which I could leave on continually. I just don't think it would be enough, being just a lamp.
I need them for part of a project for my Secret Reaper, so that's why I'm short on time with the fading method.
Any thoughts on how to lighten the colors quickly? Would regular sunlight be enough in just a few days?
Thanks!
