Zipper Bracelet Story

Once used on a skirt, pants or a dress....now...ripped out and set a part....useless.....

A Zipper....Found a new life...in a different way....

Some of us find ourselves on a path through life that seems to be so straight and sure....
trouble comes and the path forks and a new direction begins....a beautiful path...undefined, undiscovered....a light shines at the end of the path...beckoning us on...."come this way"...it will
be ok....

A Zipper....once in a sure plan...used to open and close a skirt, a pair of pants...or a dress....now...discarded...curled up and unused....until...the fork in the path shines a new light...for it to take...a new purpose....Adorable Button Bracelets...made with a Zipper....





 
Zippers and Buttons
Once use to close a garment....
Now Partner up together...
to Adorn a wrist...
so soft and colorful...
useful...
once again...
Treasured.....and headed down a new path....
and following the light...
of Love
