How to use

Hold the scissor handles with the thumb and middle finger while resting the index finger along the handle for guidance. Position the blades on the material to be cut and open and close the handles in a controlled motion, keeping fingers away from the cutting edge. For accurate straight cuts, move the material rather than forcing the blades; for curves and shapes, use short, guided snips. After use, store the scissors in a safe place out of reach of very young children.

Usage recommendations

Use these scissors for paper, light cardboard and craft materials; avoid cutting metal, thick plastic or other hard materials to preserve blade sharpness. Clean blades with a dry cloth and keep them dry to prevent staining. Replace scissors when blades become noticeably dull or misaligned.
