What to Do With a Stamp Collection

If your kids are looking to start a collection hobby, stamps are a classic choice. Eventually, you can turn the collection into a collectible object:

 
 

1. Inspiration Resource Stamp Collection inspires a wall hanging
2. Look!: Postage Stamp Side Table; a decoupage standard
3. More decoupage action like these Stamp boxes via eHow
4. Pick up a simple frame for an unused sheet of great looking modern classics like the Commemorative Eames Postage Stamps from the USPS
5. Start making Custom Postage Stamps with your kids for sending out letters to family; fill an album with one from each batch (great memories!)

When I worked in a company that received tons of foreign mail, I decoupaged the frame of an Ikea Malma mirror (the one that's about 12" square with a wide pine frame). It was a big hit with the boss, she still has it years later.
