How to solve a problem of slippery cutting by safety scissors

1. Fix the Material Slipping

Safety scissors often have dull, rounded blades, so smooth materials slide away easily.

Try these:

Use thicker paper (construction paper, cardstock). Thin paper bends and escapes the blades.

Stabilize the paper with your non‑cutting hand by holding it closer to the cutting line.

Fold the paper to give it more rigidity.

Use a textured cutting mat underneath to prevent sliding.

2. Choose the Right Type of Safety Scissors

Some safety scissors are too safe — meaning the blades are so dull they can barely cut.

If possible, choose:

Blunt‑tip metal safety scissors (safer than sharp scissors but cut better than plastic ones)

Spring‑assisted safety scissors (they reopen automatically, reducing slipping)

Micro‑serrated safety scissors (tiny teeth grip the paper so it doesn’t slide)

If you want, tell me the age of the user and what material you’re cutting, and I’ll recommend the best type.
