I lost my sewing scissors a couple of weeks ago, I know they will turn up but I have no idea where I put them down. They were rather cheap anyhow, so I thought I would look at getting a new pair.
But they were so expensive.
Then I saw a second hand pair for sale online for very cheap.
I got to thinking that I should have some retro scissors to go with my machine. so I brought them.
They were in a sorry state. so first I painted them silver but wasnt happy so I then found some copper coloured paint, and did the handles.
I'm glad it worked out the way it did. If I had of found the copper paint first they would be all that colour. this way they ended up 2 tone. I left the blades unpainted to keep the vintage look. I might have to clear coat them at some stage?
all the paint was from rattle cans.
all finished
