Finally managed to do the Dear Billy letter and envelope written by Max:
The letter is a standard A4 (210 x 297 mm), while the envelope (the 1 piece variant - printed on an A3 sheet) should print at 270 x 256 mm and the final dimension (full closed) is 240 x 113 mm. The 2nd variant can be printed on 2 sheets of A4 or LTR.
Also, I did an accurate Farrah Fawcett hair spray (just the front so far). Most of the photos you see on the internet has the wrong font and text (the small caps a is a dead giveaway):
And last, but not least, I did the fake recommendation letter from Lawrence Bentley to Anthony Hatch, the director of Pennhurst Hospital and the made up CV for Ruth and Rose:
The University of Notre Dame stamp logo is an existing one. Rose's CV was taken from the attached screencap, but Ruth's CV was painfully taken from the low-res image posted by Vanessa Riegel on her site (the image was cropped to include only these pages):
Note that these are not the final versions, but the text is correct.
All the pages are standard LTR (216 x 280 mm).

Would you be willing to post a version without lines? I'd like to print on actual notebook paper.

Just barely making this post in here before bed. But here's a few things.
Firstly, some requests.
Scans from the vintage Super Teen Magazine seen in Season 3, Episode 3 as read by Eleven and Max:
Scan of the Pee-Chee Portfolio Folder carried by Nancy in Season:
Finally, one of my own custom ones that I've been finalizing for awhile.
The iconic photo of Barb at the Pool with the Demogorgon looming over her!
The above is a version for printing on 8.5"x11". It's final dimensions should be basically 8"x10"
As far as how to tear it up, here's a bit of a guide.
The tears in the show are not completely consistent from scene to scene, so this is based on the scene you can see the assembled photo best.
And reversed if you wish to try printing the guides on the back.
Some advice.
I printed mine on some high gloss paper with an inkjet printer. I was getting extremely poor results with my laser printer.
When you tear, pay attention to the direction that you're tearing. If you need to leave a white torn edge, you need to tear away from that area.
Tape it back together with good ole' Scotch tape , but with a gloss finish not the more matte frosty finish.
Notice that it is not assembled perfectly, the bottom right corner for example is not properly aligned vertically in the main shots of it.
Here's how mine turned out - I am beyond thrilled with it:
Screenshots from the show:
As a bonus, here's the blown up print from when Jonathan magnifies it to better identify the Demogorgon:
Screenshots:
Hopefully this is worth the wait.
I sink a lot of hours into these things to make sure they're something I'm happy with.
It's hard to keep up the pace recently, but hopefully the quality speaks for itself.
I think there's still some little details I may tweak eventually, but they're very close at this point
Enjoy!

Thanks for the compliment! Like I said, I already see some things that I might want to tweak so I’ll probably update these at some point

Yeah, no problem at all:
Note that there are some crop marks on all 4 corners to help you align the text with the page.

Thanks a lot for the scans. Will you scan the other half of the Ralph Macchio poster?
Awesome job with the Barb and Demogorgon photo! Was this an actual screenshot or you have it from other sources? If so, I haver missed it somehow...

I’m not at my workshop right now so I don’t recall which book it came from, but a very crude version of the Barb Pool Photo was included quite small in a book, might’ve been the yearbook? But it had the tears and the tape on it with a huge glare. Looked like someone just took a photo of it and cut it out for the book, but the tearing didn’t match the hero version seen in the show and it had a much more obvious demogorgon instead of the more ominous version in the show.
Anyway, I started with that, cleaned it up, and patched in various careful screenshots, and the blown up version of the demogorgon. Took a lot of effort blending all these different sources, but I’m very happy with it with some incredibly minor exceptions I’m still working on.
EDIT: just scrolled back. I see what they did now in the magazine. I’ll work on scanning the other half later tonight.

The poster should look like this:
This was a crude recreation based on the photos posted by Spiderstella here ==> Stranger things. To anyone else: don't download this, it's just a mock-up. Wait for the other half or a full version coming soon by UnusualWizardry.
The Barb and Demogorgon photo looks so great, I thought is was a scene I missed in that episode. You did an extraordinary job with that photo (this goes for everything you post/share).

Yeah, I checked back and those images and realized I had indeed missed the other half. I’ll scan it in and assemble it tonight!

Thanks for the poster!
I scanned all the props from the Doctor Collector's box at 300 DPI (this includes all pages of Dustin's Diary, but also the metal box) and some from the Worlds Turned Upside Down book and uploaded them mostly unedited to my Google Drive ==> 300 DPi Scans - Google Drive.
Warning: the folder has more than 3gb in size so download at your own risk! In addition, the last 2 scans with the Creel House stained glass was scanned at 600 DPI.

Finally I've found mysterious poster of skull wearing red cape holding axe from Eddie Munson's bedroom, here it is... Also, the same blacklight poster is on eBay right now, link here.
Also, I've recreated these newspaper from ST NYC Experience. You can view them and download here: The Hawkins Post Newspaper: ST Experience NYC.pdf
I recreate these newspaper on same dimensions as Doctor Collector Vecna's Curse Box newspaper from Creel's house. ((29.5 x 42cm))
At least, as always, its not the best newspaper props, but it was made by my heart and passion ^^''

Jonathan Byers' Lenora Hills Community College acceptance letter and envelope:
Made from the reference found on Vanessa Riegel's site:
The letter is a standard LTR (216 x 280 mm), and while the envelope is not shown in that episode, I made it the same type as the one used by Max for the Dear Billy letter, although a bit smaller: the full envelope should print at 258 x 227 mm and fully closed it has 230 x 100 mm.
Another paper prop designed by Vanessa Riegel is the Chrissy Cunningham Funeral Program:
The program is a standard LTR in size, more exactly 279 x 216 mm.
This was "fun" to make because the image is low-res and you can barely decipher the text and the design elements. Luckily, Vanessa also put on her site some photos of Crissy and I used them to recreate the funeral program (with the now mandatory enhancements/upscales made with Topaz Photo AI):
I also found the front of the program on Pinterest and used it to find the flower design under Chrissy's photo; but to actually find it, I had to recreate somehow the hidden portions of the design:
The model with the cross and flowers was an easy find, but the text separator (under the Program title) was made from scratch.
The text was another beast, but I managed to recreate around 70-80% of it, the rest is guesstimation.
