Got Scissors?

I don’t know about you, but I have at least twenty pairs of scissors and pinking shears… many of which I inherited from my Mom, and my Grandmother (you should see the yarn supply, crochet hooks and knitting needles too!). But the poor little guys cannot cut ribbon because they were used for way too many things over the years! They probably couldn’t cut butter.

I received this scissor in a recent Copic order from Oozak (see link at the bottom of my blog), as a gift for my (very large) order. They are made by Rostrei of Germany, and frankly they are terrific, especially for cutting ribbon. To remind anyone in my Craft Grotto that they are for ribbon only, I gussied them up a bit repurposing bits of ribbon from my scrap bin. Do you think anyone would use them for anything else looking like this?  And, certainly no one would mistaken them for their own. 

Anyway, to quote my Mom “God help the one who uses them for anything else!” Try this little tip to deter someone from misusing your favorite ribbon scissor!
