Handmade Scissor Keep Tutorial: A Unique & Style Crafting Organizer

This video is about how to make a scissor keep, a handmade organizer for your scissors. The creator of the video, Fran, is a crafter who is passionate about protecting her sewing tools. She shares her frustration with her husband using her scissors for tasks other than sewing, like opening jars. To solve this problem, Fran decided to create a scissor keep to keep her scissors safe and organized. She used hardboard, fabric, and interfacing to construct the keep. The front of the keep has a pocket for her best scissors, while the sides and back have additional pockets for other tools. Fran also added decorative elements to the keep, such as stitching and embellishments. She then reinforced the spine of the keep with cardboard and covered it with fabric. Finally, she added a cording foot to her sewing machine to stitch around the edge of the keep and then blanket stitched the entire project. Fran concludes the video by saying that she is happy with how the scissor keep turned out and that it will help her keep her scissors safe and organized. She encourages viewers to try making their own scissor keeps and to have fun with the project.

I’m a self-taught crafter with a passion for turning imagination into reality. After retiring from a rewarding career as a nurse, I traded my scrubs for scissors and have been happily sewing up a storm ever since.

I love sharing my journey into the wonderful world of crafting on my blog. Here, you’ll find everything from the project ideas that spark my creativity to the techniques and resources that bring them to life. Whether I’m creating whimsical art dolls, cozy home decor, or magical Christmas ornaments, my goal is to inspire you to find joy in making things with your own hands.
