Take out the tea bag and gently wipe all over the sheet of paper and also dab gently on the applied parts for a darker stain in some regions to look natural. Repeat this process by turning over the sheet or wait for one side to dry up and then stain the other side. allow the paper to dry completely, for about four and a half hours.
