Hello! I do a lot of paper crafts and DIY projects, but my cuts never seem smooth. I’ve tried several types of scissors, but they either tear the paper or lose sharpness after a few uses. Could someone share advice on which scissors are best suited for crafting and how to keep them in good condition for longer use?

Hi! After reading through the guide at https://www.the-littlest-thistle.com/types-scissors-guide/ I learned that not all scissors are equal when it comes to crafting. Paper-cutting scissors should have shorter, fine-tipped blades for precision and control. Decorative edge scissors can add creative borders without damaging the paper. It’s also essential to avoid using your craft scissors on materials like fabric or plastic, as that wears them down. The guide recommends cleaning the blades regularly and storing them properly to prevent rust or misalignment. Since following these tips, my cuts are smoother and my scissors stay sharp much longer.
