Fold the paper along the line where you want to cut, lick the crease several times, fold the paper the other way and repeat, and then finally tear.

How to Teach Your Child to Use Scissors?

Even though you have may have been prohibiting the use of scissors with your child so far, probably the time has come to teach them how to use these important instruments. Scissors are essential in school craft and they are exercising devices to strengthen the child’s fingers. They also help the child improve their motor coordination. You cannot avoid scissors for your children forever, but when you teach them, you need to do it the right way the first time around. ▪ Preparation is important. Teaching a kid how to use scissors is a patient task and you have to make sure you won’t be distracted for at least an hour. Teach them only when they are most attentive or it will be a futile exercise. ▪ Select the right kinds of things to cut. Paper is best, but you must select different thickness levels and colors of paper. This will enable the child to realize that cutting with scissors does not always feel the same. The variety makes the exercise interesting for the kid. ▪ First, allow the child to touch the scissors. Of course, you have to supervise this. The child may possibly be paranoid about this instrument because it was hitherto prohibited for them, so you need to remove this common fear. ▪ Now is the time to teach them how to grasp the scissors. Gently, open their fingers and thumb and lead them into the right grips in the scissor. Children won’t be able to do this themselves at first, which is why you need to lead their fingers. Train them to hold it correctly. ▪ Then get a piece of paper – the softest one you have – and show them how to work the scissors on it. Lead their hands for a while. When they say they will do it themselves, allow them to do so. ▪ Bring in variety by changing the papers. Children are likely to take this as a game. Soon, your child will learn how to use scissors. The precision will come later; initially, you should let them cut any way they can. And, it is always very important that you keep the scissors out of reach of the children when unsupervised. Once their possible phobia about scissors is gone, they might want to experiment with them a lot more than you think.


How many pieces of 8 x 10 inch paper can be cut from one sheet of 20 x 26 inch cover paper?

6 if you cut it the right way. To figure it out: the total area of the cover paper is 20x26 inches or 520 in2. Each 8x10 inch paper has an area of 80 in2. So dividing 520 by 80 = 6.5. Since you wanted whole sheets of 8x10 the most you can cut from the cover paper is 6.


How do you fold a regular piece of paper to make an envolope?

the easiest way that I have found is to get one of those envalopes that have the peel stick tops (for the layout of them) take it apart, and cut the paper like that, then fold it the same way. then tape it. It works for me.


How can you make a piece of paper 8.5 x 11 bigger than a child?

Its all about making specific cuts in the paper. You have to fold the paper in half then cut loads of thin slits from the folded end to the unfolded end, not going all the way across though. You then unfold the paper and make a few more cuts so that when its unravelled, there is a big loop of paper that a person can fit through.

Can we use Barber scissors as craft scissors?

You do not want to use barber scissors for odd jobs around the house or visa-versa. Cutting hair with kitchen shears can damage your hair strands, and the only way to repair your locks will be to further cut back on the affected area.
