How to Center a Drawing on the Page for a Button

ROBYN LYMAN: Hi, this Robyn with Expert Village. We're on step three here. I'm going to show you how to get started. Now, there's a lot of ways to find the center of paper. You can take a ruler, measure it, then measure the other wise, and split the distance. I found that's always time- consuming and I hate to take the time to take the ruler out and measure it. Another way is that you can have the center already marked and put the paper over for light and then mark with it a dot so you know where the center is. You always want to stay in the center of the paper 'cause once it's--your drawing comes out, everything is centered. So I found the easiest way to do that is just take the paper, carefully fold it over, make sure your corners match evenly. I always hold my finger down right on there to keep it, so it can't slide and then run it. And I turn it and do it lengthwise. You don't really have to run and trace down the whole paper; you can just push it right in the middle right there. Now I'll show you where the center of your paper is. So now I know exactly where the center of this paper is just by folding it over lengthwise and folding it over widthwise.
