Brilio.net - Scissors have handles with two holes to place fingers when used, making the cutting process easier. However, scissor handles are often easily broken because the bottom is thin and small, especially if dropped or slammed.
Many people choose to throw away broken scissors and buy new ones, because they become difficult to use. However, if you have scissors with broken handles, don't rush to throw them away. There is an easy way to fix them.
A YouTube user with the account Fim2 Channel shared tips for reusing scissors with broken handles in a simple way.
"We will share tips on items that are usually trash (scissors with broken handles), but here we will reuse them, of course in a simple way," explained the YouTube Fim2 Channel.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Fim2 Channel on Monday (10/21), you only need to prepare tissue and G glue. However, before repairing it, make sure the broken end of the scissor handle has been cleaned and the texture has been smoothed. Almost the same as sanding, but just clean it by rubbing it with a razor blade.
After that, set aside the scissors. Then prepare one sheet of tissue. Fold the tissue lengthwise and roll it into small pieces. To make it denser, press or twist it using your palms.

Then attach the end of the tissue to the end of the broken scissor handle. Glue both of them with G glue. After that, bend the tissue in a circle until it resembles a scissor hole, while adjusting the size. When it fits, cut the tissue.

Now, after cutting, glue the tissue section with the other end of the scissors using glue. If the size is right, wet the entire surface of the tissue with glue so that the texture is stiffer and stronger when it dries later.
Then take the rest of the tissue roll and cut it into one centimeter pieces. Unroll the cut tissue, then use it to roll or cover the boundary between the tissue and the scissors (like a bandage). Put some glue on it to make it stick better. Repeat the same thing on the other side.

Now, so that the surface is not rough, rub it gently with sandpaper. In the video, he also colors the tissue layer with a black marker. This is intended so that the color of the patch matches the base color of the scissors, which is black. You can also use paint for better results, yes.
"It is very strong, it doesn't break easily, even when it is thrown," he explained further.

The video on how to repair scissors apparently invited many other YouTube users to respond directly in the comments column.
"It's simple, but not everyone thinks of this idea. Hopefully your knowledge will be blessed, bro... Aamiin YRA," said YouTube Cahyo Hartono.
"A very effective trick. It's worth trying," said YouTube Cah Ndeso.
"It turns out that restoration can be done with just tissue....amazing...thank you for the knowledge," said YouTube Berbagi Puisi.
"Maybe the scissors are not worth much, if you have money you can buy new ones, but if they can still be repaired, why not, thank you for sharing your idea, bro...," said YouTuber Aldi Andani.
"Thank you, bro, for the creative idea. I never imagined it before," wrote YouTuber Nico Balthazar.
