Tiny,tiny...How do I use these in a sentence?

Question

Is this phrase correct:
'tiny tiny squares that made up the paper'
If not than how do I correct it. I know I could use words like infinitesimal... but this was more appropriate.

You need a comma between two adjacent adjectives:

"I drew in closer and noticed that there were tiny, tiny squares that made up the paper."

You could also add an appositive:

"I drew in closer and noticed that there were tiny, perhaps even infinitesimal, squares that made up the paper."

EDIT: My first example is somewhat informal. My second example is formal.

Tiny, tiny squares that made up the paper.  Tiny little squares that made up the paper. Teeny-weeny squares that made up the paper. http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/teeny-weeny

Microscopic squares that made up the paper mqay be better for more formal prose.
