How to Collect Stamps

By Josh

Before you get to collecting, you will need a few things.
You will need:

• A place to keep the stamps
• Tweezers 
• A large bowl
• Hot water
• A small towel

There are three ways to collect stamps:

• The Water Bowl
• The Collecting Store
• The Post Office

Let's go through the three ways

1. The Water Bowl

This is if you get a letter in the mail and you want the stamp from it.

1. Fill the large bowl with hot water
2. Put the letter with the stamp in the water
3. Wait a minute
4. Grab the letter and put it on the towel
5. VERY CAREFULLY use the tweezers to remove the stamp without tearing it
6. Throw the letter in the garbage and let the stamp dry
7. Once the stamp is dry add it to your collection

2. The Collecting Store

This is if you want to buy an/some old stamp/s

1. Search for a collecting store in your area (we have found some at hooby lobby as well)
2. If you can find one go to it
3. In there you can most likely find stamps
4. Buy the stamps you want to buy

If you can't find one or you don't feel like leaving home then you can always buy the stamps online.

3. The Post Office

This one needs no explanation. You literally go to the post office, find some stamps you want and buy them.

I hope this blog post helps and happy stamp collecting!
