Tutorial: Scissor sleeves with labels so you’ll know if they’re for paper or fabric

Vanessa from Crafty Gemini shares a video tutorial showing how you can make these super easy and super handy scissor sleeves. The fabric sleeve fits over the blades of the scissors to keep them from poking other items should you toss them in a bag to take a craft project with you. And there’s a little label sticking out of the side so you can mark them as fabric or paper scissors. It’s a good scrapbusting project, using just 2 rectangles of fabric 3 1/2″ x 4″ plus a some foam padding and a tiny scrap for the label.
