Simple but not everyone knows
Step-by-Step:
Fold the foil: Stack 4–6 layers of aluminum foil and fold it into a thick, firm square (about 4×4 inches).
💡 Thicker = more resistance = better sharpening.
Cut through the foil: Open your scissors wide and cut through the foil layers using the entire length of the blades—not just the tips.
Make 10–15 firm, smooth cuts.
Apply gentle pressure—don’t force it.
Test your scissors: Try cutting a piece of paper. If still dull, repeat with a fresh foil square (up to 2–3 times).
✅ Why it works: Aluminum foil is just abrasive enough to hone the microscopic edge of scissor blades without grinding them down or misaligning them. It’s gentle, consistent, and safe for fabric, kitchen, or craft scissors.
