If you "cut" a glass bottle neck with blunt scissors, it sharpens them!!
One of the kids ruined a pair of my sewing scissors & I seen this on the net & thought the next time I have a glass bottle, Im gonna try that! IT WORKS!
YAY I can use my purple sewing scissors once more!
wow thats awesome! i have a few scissors that could do with this! :lol: any particular type of glass bottle? how do you do it? just as thought you're trying to cut through it like a plastic bottle?
I have just a plain glass bottle from a lemon/lime bitters cordial I placed the scissors as if I was trying to cut the top off the neck & just kept slicing at it for a few minutes & yep they now cut fabric again.
Aluminium foil is a good sharpener too.
You can use a screwdriver instead of a bottle neck too.
My sewing scissors are purple too. ;)
Yep, & you sharpen safety pins by running them through your hair ;) I learnt that from mum when she used to change my sisters nappy :)
Really? How did it not know these all my life - now to take the 10 or so pair of blunt scissors and fix this problem once and for all lol!!
must try this tomorrow
My nanna used to do this all the time she was a seamstress :)
