This tiny stationery set was one of my treasures when I was about 8 years old. I adored the tiny papers and envelopes so much so that I was reluctant to use them. That’s why I still have some left! My 9 year old daughter loves this little set so I took it apart and made a pattern.
For the letter papers, I cut down sheets of notebook paper, leaving the red margin line on the side.
The braided thread is knotted at the back and wraps around the front button for closure.
I made a template for this miniature stationery set if you’d like to make some of your own.
It ‘s a really tiny set, measuring 3″ x 3.75″. So cute!
I had so much fun making this that I made 4 more!
Here’s some pictures of the different designs with different closures:
This one has vintage lined notebook paper and vellum envelopes.
For this one I copied a rubber stamp at 50% .
I made the envelopes from book text and the “7 Gypsies” tape looks like tiny postage stamps.
Closure was made with grommets and a thin strip of leather.
And here’s a pretty, feminine one. The tiny flower stamps are from Stampin’ Up.
Envelopes made from typing paper and stamped.
The lined paper is from KC Company’s ‘Sweet Nectar” paper pack.
A little something for the back…
And here’s one more with a different look. The red and white paper clip is from the “Smash” journal line.
A lined rubber stamp was used to make the letter paper.
A strip of paper tape is tucked in and can be torn in small pieces to seal the envelopes.
Hope you like these little stationery sets. They’re super fun to make and fit…
How gorgeous are these, Scarlett!
Love these as an awesome gift idea, or just to keep to write a short note in!
Love it!
I’m sure my daughter would love this project! Thanks for the idea!
I LOVE these! I have 2 “wee” friends that I know would love these. Thanks for the template and the ideas. I still have some of the tiny things I loved as a child, too.
These are amazing~! I love them! Scarlett, you are so clever to use them as a pattern. And I especially like the stamp of pencils with wings, very sweet. ~s
I love your wee little sets! I bought the bird with a note and the pens with wings from Michaels too, and have only used the bird once, you have inspired me to get busy with it! These are just so sweet, and what girl doesn’t love tiny things? They have the awwwwe factor 🙂
t.xoxoxoxo
@Theresa –Aren’t those stamps the coolest? I couldn’t believe they were in the bargain bin, too! Love love love Michael’s! Thanks for coming by!
The idea is wonderful and what you do with it is amazing. Every one of these sets is different and beautiful. Once again, you have inspired me! Thank you for sharing your creativity.
These are so cute and what a great gift idea…I think anything that encourages people to utilize the handwritten method is a good idea… there is something so much more personalized that technology will never have…
Thanks for the template…:)
have a beautiful day Scarlett…XO
@Linda –I couldn’t agree more, friend, a letter (any size) is still something special…I encourage my kids to write friends and send real thank-you letters, too…don’t know if they will continue when they’re older but I hope so! Thank you for your sweet comments, Linda, have a wonderful weekend!
Oh my goodness, I used to have something similar. I loved my stationary so much that I rarely used any of it, I just collected it. My mom still has my album at home. I kept at least one page and envelope for each set I had in an album. This brings back so many memories… Thank you so much for the template, I’m definitely making N. one (or two), and maybe even one for myself. You’re so generous to make the template available to us. Have a lovely day! (ps.: I heard Dallas is getting some tornados. I hope you don’t live in that part of Texas)
@i.ikeda –We are a lot alike! I did the same thing for a long time..that’s so cool your mom still has your album. This little one is the only one I have left, but I can still remember a lot of the others. Thanks for visiting!
Oh my! These are darling! I love your style so much! Each stationery set is so eye catching in their different motifs. Thank you so much for the template too! These would make nice gifts for family and friends!
@Vanessa –Thanks so much! And I don’t know if you’ll see this message but I wanted to let you know that I am unable to comment on your blog for some reason…I keep trying to sign in to WordPress.com and it just won’t work!! Very frustrating! But I love your paper mache easter basket project, it looks like a lot of fun!
Hi Scarlett! Thanks for the follow up comment about the paper mache easter baskets! WordPress unfortunately has been making some behind- the-scene changes and it’s been a bit frustrating for me and other WP users. (Though I still love their overall platform for blogging). I’m sorry you’re having trouble logging in – I hope they have corrected the problem. But thanks for the shout-out here! 🙂 I love your creations! I’m always inspired by your work! ~Vanessa
Scarlett…just ANOTHER of your geneous gifts to us. Thank you for the inspiration and the template. I don’t have anyone to make these for, but will keep them on the back burner, in case I think of someone. They are just darling! Keep up the good work – your art is so easy on the eye!!
@teepee –You’re so sweet, I’m really glad you like these little sets…I thought to myself as I was posting the template…’I wonder if there’s already some die-cut or something that does this?” Who knows, right? They come out with new stuff so fast now days. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and I appreciate you stopping by and leaving these kind words SO much! 🙂
So cute !!!
just love em
I think you’re on to something there….absolutely too cute!! Love this idea.
🙂 Becky
Little bits of perfection!
These are fantastic. Can’t wait to make some. Thanks for sharing.
You did have fun with these ;-D
I’m with you as I love “wee” things. Your variations are all great and I’m sure your daughter will be excited to find them at Easter. I also love huge oversized things for some odd reason. Thanks so much for sharing your template. This looks like a fun rainy day project.
I forsee an upcoming project 🙂 I love wee things and treasure them.
Oh! My! Goodness! These are the sweetest ever! You are always so clever. I LOVE that you copied the stamp and used it as ephemera – that is brilliant. And the paper tape for “seals” is genius. These are all so elegant and beautiful and I bet their tiny-ness is so cool in person. Thank you for the template too 😉
AND yes! Wasn’t that stamp in the dollar bin at Michaels? I love it, I bet we would have the same stuff in our baskets!
Happy Easter to you and your beautiful family, xoxo
@Kristin –Yep, dollar bin SCORE!! 🙂 And the one with the key in the lock! had to have that one, too 🙂 Blessings to you and your sweet family,as well, thanks so much for your sweet words, Kristin!
Hi Scarlett – I can’t wait to hear about your daughter’s reaction to her own ‘wee set’ .. gosh her eyes will light up – wonderful sight to behold .. Have a great Easter – these little sets are so, so clever ..
Happy and a blessed peaceful Easter – cheers Hilary
These sets are so sweet! Love the idea and your combinations of different colors and patterns together! Thanks for the template too! 🙂
Your wee little notes are so charming and I adore all your different renditions. It has inspired me to make a wee note pad to give to my
hubby for our 50th wedding anniversary in May. Thank you so much
for the wonderful idea. Rachel
Precious. Great gift ideas. I will save this for sure. Would make a great little gift for a friend.
I LOVE this! Could I make this normal size? and if so, how?? If anyone could please please help me, that would be awesome! <3 😀
Hi Evelyn, you could enlarge the template..I’d start with 150 percent and see how it goes. You may need to increase it a little more. I’d love to hear how it turns out! Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
