How Do You Make A Paperweight With Stamps?

This is a really fun project for the kids and the family. Who can't use a paperweight? A paperweight also makes a nice gift idea from the kids.

Find a palm sized rock. Your rock should be a smooth, somewhat flat or a rounded surface. Do not use a rock with jagged or sharp edges.

Wash any dirt off of your rock. Save old cancelled stamps from envelopes. Cut the stamps off of the envelope with the paper from the envelope attached.

Soak the stamps in water for a few minutes to loosen the glue and remove the paper. Place the stamps on wax paper to dry. Only use wax paper because the stamps will not stick to it.

Glue the stamps one by one onto the rock. Be sure to overlap the stamps to cover any part of the rock and to make the design more interesting. Be sure to cover all sides and top and bottom.

You can use plain white glue to glue your stamps on to the rock, you do not need any special glue or adhesive. Allow the glue to completely dry. Paint a coat of white glue all over the stamps or ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
