Creating With Vintage Postage Stamps


I confess, I love the way vintage postage stamps are being reused and let's face it, reborn, for use in beautiful jewelry and papercraft projects. I wanted to show you my two current favourite etsy pieces in case you need some inspiration.

The top picture is a ring! yes, a beautiful handmade ring using vintage butterfly postage stamps, there are a lot of butterfly and dragonfly pieces in this etsy shop levydesign the quick link directly to this ring is www.etsy.com/listing/48725199/in-mauve


This vintage postage necklace is from izzabellarose on etsy, www.etsy.com/listing/50228620/vintage-postage-necklace
And in case you don't have a stamp collection of your own to raid, you could always try shopping for stamps on etsy, and I do have several sets in my store www.starzyia.etsy.com In addition to the birds, butterflies, flowers, etc that are in my store now, I will soon be adding more flowers, and christmas stamps absolutely gorgeous for special seasonal creations!
