What are some good projects or ideas to put torn stamps to good use? I've got lots and I need to do something with them all.

This was suggested as a craft on USPS Facebook. Make a box to keep your stamps in!

I tend to keep certain items such as early France no matter what the condition for assisting in colour identification and varieties.

Similarly to making those storage boxes, stamps also make colorful bookmarks. My local club members make them to give kids at the annual stamp fairs....but the way things are going with e-readers, bookmarks will also become a thing of the past.

How about laminating into book marks. Saw some for sale in my local university book store.

I journal and hinge them in my books as accents as well as pen & ink and water color. Looks great and it's the only time I ever use hinges!

I put them in an envelope until a sufficient number have accumulated and then offer them to SCF members who would like to have them.
