Wednesday's Words of Wisdom

A grandparent 

will help you with your buttons,

your zippers, and your shoelaces

and not be in any hurry

for you to grow up.

Button gift enclosure card by Adele Bruno, CZT

Project particulars:

This is a small card designed to given with a gift.  

From my button box, I selected a round purple button with two holes.  

I traced it in the approximate center of the card and then tangled outward.  

Once the zendala was complete, I used a needle and thick cotton embroidery thread to sew the button to the paper and then finished it with a double knot. 

Here's a little trick:  Adding the scalloped edge and then doubling it is an easy way to give the illusion that the round design is centered.  I just adjusted the curves, stretching them to a somewhat equal distance from the edges of the card.
