A great indoor craft project, stamp boxes make wonderful gifts.

What You Need:

• Small wooden or cardboard box with lid
  
• Canceled postage stamps
  
• Glue
  
• Paint brushes (older ones for spreading glue)
  
• Liquid Tempera or acrylic paint
  
• Paint brushes for paint
• Clear spray varnish OR a mixture of 60% water 40% glue
  

What You Do:

1. Glue overlapping canceled stamps all over the lid of the box.

2. Brush the glue on with a paintbrush and make sure to brush some glue lightly over the stamps once they are glued down. This will prevent any stamps from peeling away from the box.

3. Paint the remaining area of the wooden box or if you wish, glue more stamps on the box.

4. When the glue and paint are dry, cover the box with one coat of spray varnish OR a glue/water mixture.

5. If you do spray the boxes, be sure to do it in a well ventilated area.
