Scissors become dull quite quickly due to constant use.

And if your favorite scissors have stopped cutting, this is not a reason to get rid of them.

Let's figure out what four methods will help you get rid of the problem in no time.

How to sharpen scissors at home

The first method is similar to the process of sharpening a knife. You will need a whetstone, which will restore the sharpness of the blades.

Please note! It is important to maintain the angle at which the scissors were sharpened at the factory.

The second method is to use sandpaper.

Take a sheet of skin, fold it in half and start cutting it with scissors. Usually 10 cuts are enough.

The next method is similar to the previous one, only instead of sandpaper you will need to take aluminum foil for baking.

The fourth method of sharpening is to use an awl or a gypsy pin. You just need to run the sharp object along the blade of the scissors to restore their former sharpness.
