Materials

  • Thick white cardstock (4x6 in.)
  • Needle with a fine point
  • Pencil for marking holes
  • Black fine-liner pen (0.3–0.5 mm)
  • Scissors
  • Optional: corner rounder punch
  • Red embroidery thread (1–2 meters)

Instructions

  • Cut your cardstock to a clean rectangle and round the corners if you want a smoother, softer look.
  • Lightly sketch a simple soundwave shape near the top. It doesn’t need to be perfect as the hand-stitched style is what gives it charm.
  • Use a needle to poke small holes along the wave line, spacing them evenly so the thread lays smoothly.
  • Stitch through the holes with red thread, going back and forth to create a continuous, flowing wave. Tie knots securely on the back.
  • Draw the screen border, song title, and music player icons using a fine-liner. Keep your lines relaxed; the handmade feel is part of the aesthetic.
  • Add the Spotify-style code at the bottom or personalize it with another service your partner loves.
