Pencil holder and postage stamps

Many years ago I became interested in postage stamps but trying to collect all those that the postal service published was not possible and costly to say the least. I started saving them off letters I received and my sister and sister-in-law helped also. I would put the stamps in a bowl of water and after awhile the stamp would soak loose from the paper. When I had enough they would be glued on a container.

I have made several and when my niece Tammy was here one summer with her boys they each made a little box covered with stamps for their Mom. I didn't take a picture..should have.

I have saved some Christmas seals and plan on using them to cover future pencil holders.

A fun craft and not expensive to make.
