Decoupage: Choosing your scissors

Decoupage Scissors

CHOOSING AND TAKING CARE OF YOUR SCISSORS

The more accurate you cut, the better your finished work will be. To achieve the best results you will need a small scissors with very sharp points and curved blades that feels comfortable to hold. A surgical scissors made for cutting the iris is ideal but a good cuticle scissors also works well provided both points are equally sharp. This type of scissors is available from surgical supply outlets, department stores, drug stores or craft supply shops that deal with decoupage. Never share your decoupage scissors with anyone as it moulds itself to your movements and when someone else uses it this gets thrown out of wack.
