Yes, it is that easy!

Print and cut out your favorite phrases using an X-acto. We’re spoiled and have a laser cutter, so we used that.

Chose your favorite colored baker’s thread. We chose to mix our pearly pink letters with a bold purple thread.

Thread your words onto your string. Start with the end of the sentence, so the last you thread on is the first word.

I love you more than I love the ’90s. Um, yeah… that’s a WHOLE lot.

XOXOXXXXXXX

Carefully fold the words into an envelope. Tape the end of the string at the top to give your valentine an easy reveal.

I sent this valentine to my favorite person, Beyoncé.

Make a few to send out to your friends and then pin up the extras in your Ryan Gosling shrine.

Everyone has a Ryan Gosling shrine, right?? XOXO
