The best scissors depend on the material and level of detail involved. General-purpose scissors work well for paper and basic craft projects, while smaller precision scissors offer more control for detailed cuts. Pair them with craft supplies for paper crafts, decorations, and mixed-material projects.

Most general craft scissors can handle standard construction paper, while thicker cardstock may require a sturdier pair with sharp blades. Our construction paper collection includes options for classroom projects, collages, cutouts, and paper crafts.

Look for a size that fits smaller hands comfortably, easy-to-control handles, and an age-appropriate blade design. Children’s scissors should make basic cutting easier without being unnecessarily difficult to open and close. They can be included alongside kids & school art supplies when putting together a classroom or home art setup.

Keep the blades clean and dry, and avoid using craft scissors on materials they are not designed to cut. Adhesive residue from tape and glue can build up on the blades, so wiping them clean after adhesive-heavy projects helps maintain a smoother cut.

Paper, adhesive, markers, and other decorative materials cover the basics for a wide range of paper projects. You can combine scissors with school glue, permanent markers, and construction paper to build a practical set of everyday craft supplies.
