forever stamps...

hello! well, I'd like some help here, please!
I just receive an auto with 12 unused forever stamps on the envelope and I'd like to reuse them! I'd like to know if there's no problem in taking them off the envelope and glueing them on another envelope and if they're easy to take off from... so afraid to lose them as I can't get any of them other than receiving them like this.

I'm in Brazil, and I'd like to send a SASE... and that would be a 5x7 picture printed in professional picture paper in a 6x9 envelope... I'd like to know how many of those forever stamps I should send on that SASE, please! I tried to calculate it on USPS but I'm afraid I made some mistake so I'd like to be sure in order to be almost sure I'll receive an auto! thanks in advance :)

4 forever stamps for one sase I would say.

you can put the paper into the water to separate stamps from it.

a word of caution - it is illegal in that strange country of america to re-use stamps.

Me too! :lol:
We have a little team going on here! :D

I've learnt a technique that if you boil the kettle, at the end after it clicks (When all the steam comes out)
Put the envelope with the unused stamps ontop of the pouring hole, :lol:
not too close though, and wait till it goes flimsy. Then they just peel off! {up}

Since the others answered your first question about removing the stamps I'll answer the second:

a 6X9 envelope is a small envelope according to the usps.com. One 5X7 should weigh under an ounce which is 0.98 or 3 forever stamps.

Let us know if you have other questions!
