Brilio.net - Using blunt scissors when cutting is really annoying. The reason is, the results of cutting with blunt scissors will definitely be messy, for example on paper or plastic. Scissors can become dull because they haven't been used for a long time or too much dirt has accumulated on the blades.

Cut the egg shells using scissors that you want to sharpen. When the egg shell is cut, friction automatically occurs between the shell and the scissor blade, this is what makes the blunt scissor blade turn sharp again.
"Repeat until the scissors are sharp again," emphasized the owner of the TikTok account @umimaull, quoted by BrilioFood on Friday (24/5).
After sharpening the scissors with egg shells, you can try cutting old paper or newspaper to see whether the blade is really sharp. If successful, don't forget to clean the scissors from any remaining egg shells before using them again.
