Stamp collecting used to be all the rage back in the day. Perhaps an older relative of yours has an impressive stamp collection, and now it’s stored away in a dusty box in the attic. Making a collage is a great way to repurpose these old stamps and showcase their beautiful designs.

Go for the same theme

One way to create a stamp collage is to find stamps that have the same theme—it could be butterflies, flowers, birds, or whatever else you like. Then stick them on a canvas, and you have a gorgeous piece of art.

Go for the same color

Another option is to select stamps that are in the same or similar colors to one another to create a tonal piece. An advantage of going for a monochromatic design is that it will look really visually striking on your wall from a distance. You can also have fun cutting your collage into different shapes and setting it against a colorful background.

Create a design

The sky is the limit when it comes to the designs you can create with postage stamps. For those more experienced artists, why not let your mind run free and try an elaborate design?
