I made this for my girlfriend for valentines day and she seems to be considerably happy with it. It is also very good soldering practice (I learned a thing or two).

Step 1: Bill of Materials

Bill of Materials:
-perf board
-solder
-wire

Step 2: Insert Wire

1. strip ends of wires
2. insert wire into board
3. bend the ends of the wire to hold it in place

Step 3: Repeat

this is where it gets tedious you need to repeat the previous step many times to spell anything meaningful

Step 4: DOUBLE CHECK YOUR SPELING

this is a very important step, especially if you are trying to write a long message check all your spelling because it will be a pain to desolder then resolder the entire message.
