Dumb question, why glue brown paper on the back instead of just tea staining the back too?
I made some vintage looking price tags for my booth at the antique store by cutting them out of brown paper grocery bags.

That's not dumb. I was going with an old postal theme and this is what they would have wrapped parcels in.
You could stain both sides if you like, I just thought it went better with my style.
Here in the UK we don't have any paper grocery bags unfortunately, but a very good idea for our friends across the pond.
Thanks for reading and commenting :)
