How to Reuse Stamps

If you put a stamp on it but you didn't put it out or the address was wrong, just reuse the stamp 🤝✨

Try cutting around the stamp with the envelope and soaking it in water!

The stamp peels off cleanly without tearing!

If you stick a stamp on a new envelope with glue, you won't waste the stamp 😊✨

Reuse of Stamps

Tricks for living

The Wisdom of Life

2023/10/12 Edited to

... Read more私も「切手を貼ったけど使わなかった」「宛名を書き間違えて郵便を出せなかった」ことが何度かあって、そのたびに切手代がもったいない…と思っていました。結論、未使用扱いで消印が付いていない切手なら、うまく剥がせば貼り直して再利用できます。 やり方はシンプルで、まず封筒やハガキを切手のフチから少し余裕を残して切り取ります(ギリギリで切ると、剥がす時に切手が反りやすいです)。次に、浅い皿に少しだけ水を張って、切手面を下にして約3分浸します。時間を置くと糊がゆるむので、焦って引っ張らず、端からそっと持ち上げるのがコツ。途中で抵抗がある場合は、無理に剥がさずもう少し水に戻すと破れにくいです。 剥がした切手は、台紙やラップの上に一度置いて水気を軽く切り、完全に乾かします。濡れたまま新しい封筒に貼ると、シワになったり、乾いた後に浮いて「切手が剥がれそう」な状態になりがちでした。乾かしてから、スティックのりや液体のりを薄く塗って貼ると安定します。のりは塗りすぎると封筒が波打つので、薄く均一が一番きれいです。 「郵便が戻ってきた(あて所に尋ねあたりません等)けど、切手は再利用できる?」というケースも、消印がなければ同じ方法で試せます。ただし、消印やスタンプが付いている、切手が破れている、粘着が弱くてすぐ浮く場合は、無理せず郵便局で相談するのが安心です。 貼り直した後は、投函前に切手の四隅がしっかり接着しているか指で軽く押さえて確認しています。これだけで、せっかく再利用した切手が途中で剥がれる心配がかなり減りました。

Make your own stamp! With corks or toilet paper rings! Add on to it to create fun textures. You can get foam stickers to add on to the bottom of corks to create the stamps. Love this #DIY #diycrafts #diyprojects #diyhomedecor #diykids

Record Stamps
I decided to create my own stamp for my records. I made one for my dad after he passed, so I would know which records he once listened to. I thought it might be nice for my kids to know about mine! I also created a concert stamp, so they will know which artists we saw live.
