Q&A for How to Make a Treasure Map

Burn the sides of the map carefully and make your self some tea and rub the damp tea bag all around the map to make it look old.

Add more places, and more details. Or try to expand the area of land you are drawing so you have more details and places to draw. You can also leave out a little bit of information to make it harder.

Start at the main entrance (front door) and then lead them to the treasure from there.

Spread it across the paper and let it dry. Then you let the rain get it wet. Leave it to dry, then put soy sauce on it. Let it dry again, and add some dirt.

Of course! Get a paint brush and a little bit of coffee, and paint the paper. Let it dry. We did this at school when learning about the gold rush to make paintings look old, and it really works. It'll be a bit sticky and really wet when you're done though, so you'll have to let it dry for awhile.

You don't need to, but you could use any type of tea or coffee to make your treasure map appear yellowed with age.

I used coconut oil and it worked just fine. So it is possible you can use any type of oil but check on a small piece of paper first.

Wet the paper gently with a little tea or coffee and let dry. Then repeat the process as many times as necessary. You can also leave puddles of tea or coffee and let it dry for darker splotches.
