How to make vintage paper texture using Illustrator?

To make vintage paper texture using Illustrator, follow the steps given below:

• Create a new canvas
• Open the toolbar and choose the Pen tool
• Draw the outline of the paper
• Use Wrinkle Tool and give the edges a torn look
• Press Shift + R, to add depth to your drawing and give it a bit more realistic touch. Once you are done move the shape out of the canvas
• Draw a rectangle and then color it with a shade of Mud Brown
• Choose a blur brush and then tap some portions of the sheet
• Select the rectangle and then tap on Object from the menu bar
• Choose Create Gradient Mesh
• Set number of rows to 4 and number of columns to 8
• Choose Direct Selection tool and then select the points where you want to fill color
• Choose eyedropper tool, pick a shade of Light Brown and then choose the points that you want to fill
• Grab the points and then tweak the mesh points
• Move the structure out the canvas
• Click on Windows > Brush Libraries > Vector Pack > Grunge Brushes
• Choose a vector brush and then draw some strokes. Once again, move the structure out of the canvas
• Overlap the previously drawn two shapes and send the paper layer to the back
• Choose both the layers and then Add Clipping Mask by pressing Ctrl + 7
• Do the same with the paper and vector paint layer
• Keep the grudge background over the mesh and then use Transparency effect
• Set the blending mode to Multiply and then change its opacity to 10%
• Tap on Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow
• At last, put the shadow shape and send it to the backwards. And there you have it a Vintage paper texture.
