How can I remove a stamp for reuse?
So I'm a bit of a procrastinator, and I just found a stack of envelopes addressed and stamped for Christmas. Only they have 37-cent stamps on them! Ordinarily, I'd just add a couple of 2-cent stamps to them and use them to surprise friends with middle-of-the-year notes, but several of these people have moved, divorced, or deceased since then. I'd like to be able to reuse the stamps (I'd say I probably have about $10 worth) if possible without trashing them. They're peel-and-stick. Are they worth the effort or should I just toss them?

You might check with the post office, they may replaces them and you pay the difference to get a current stamp. call and find out. I had one tear once and they traded it with me. Put peel and stick labels over the old addresses and put stamps to bring the total current. Or cut around the stamp and glue it to a new envelope I have done that before and never had it returned.
Good luck

Get some nice blank address labels from the office supply store, and put them over the addresses. I've never been able to remove a stamp without making it look suspicious.

I have done this before and what I have used is UnDo. You can get it at a craft store or even at Wal-mart. I am a scrapbooker and use the UnDo to remove my stickers. You use the UnDo to remove the stamps and you can put them all on new envies since the stamps will still be sticky...

Instead of trying to remove the stamp and perhaps damaging it, why not just place an address label over the written one?

Boil water and hold the enveloped stamp over it and carefully peel it off.

the best way to get stamps of envelopes is to soak them in hot water.

If you go to the craft store thet should have some type of glue remover that you could get(should be under $5.00) and use the remover on that. It should come right off.

I would just leave them affixed to the envelopes and try to reuse them that way.
If not you can just cut them off and then glue them on to another envelope.

If you can find a way so that they restick and not fall off then by all means go ahead and use it. If not, I'd rather not use them and have my mail being returned!
