Blog > World's smallest post service - DIY kit

  icon

Remember the World’s smallest postal service we wrote about two years ago? They make tiny customisable letters that you can send to your loved ones, and which look like this:

137658264 500x375

Cute, right? It’s impossible not to smile when you get one of these in the mail! :)

Lea Redmond, the Postmistress of the Word’s Smallest Post Service, has recently teamed up with Chronicle Books to make a do-it-yourself kit that allows anyone to do those amazing tiny letters and packages at home!

The World’s Smallest Post Service kit comes with paper, pen, minuscule stamps, stickers, packing material and even a little magnifying glass, so that you can write and send your own tiny letters and parcels.

The kit is available at Amazon.com.

This will never make it through German postal system... :(

So it must be sent inside a bigger envelope - the Finnish post has certain minimum requirements for the cards or/and envelopes; this does not meet the them! :(
Great idea, anyhow :D

Really cute but I feel it would need a larger envelope to mail but it would be fun to take to the post office and what the postman expression when trying to mail it :) Wish it was shipped to US!
