THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!
Today you have a chance to win a cute 2-piece designer cutting set, but first I wanted to share a little info on The Fiskars Coporation which was founded in 1649 <-- uh for reals! They are the creators of the Original Orange-Handled Scissors™ that celebrates is 45th birthday this year and is used & recognized world wide. Originating in Finland they now have offices & manufacturers worldwide for all the tools they create.
So next time you see those orange shears think of how amazing a company they are that they have been around for 363 years!
This 2-piece scissor & thread snip set is perfect for fabric and the stainless-steel blades stay sharper longer. With ergonomic handles you are provided unmatched comfort & control, plus the cuteness of the pattern & color are easy on the eyes for us creative types.
I'm making it super easy for you to enter, just leave a comment here and tell me:
What will be the next creative project you will do that you could use these for?

FISKARS
Giveaway open to US & Canadian residents, ends Monday June 18th 8pm(pst)
Cute pattern! Who couldn't use some extra scissors? I'm about to recover an ottoman and could use those snips :)
ReplyDeleteI could use these for my fabric scissors. Instead of "Don't touch my orange-handle scissors, no not that one, THAT pair!" I could just say, "Don't touch my flower scissors!" The snips would come in handy for keeping with my latest crocheting project.
ReplyDeleteWell I will be moving soon, so these will come in handy for making some pillows for my sofa! ^_^
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, CUTE scissors!!! I have no idea, honestly. I have a bunch of things I'm planning on doing though, so of course I could use them!
ReplyDeleteI tweeted about the giveaway! :) https://twitter.com/rbiebdance/status/214112839080755200

ReplyDeleteI would use them when I attempt to make myself a ruffle dress =D
ReplyDeleteWow, such cute scissors!
ReplyDeleteI have several projects waiting to be started. First on the list would is my daughter wants some clothes for her bjd's (ball jointed dolls)! So I would probably start there!
I always need new scissors!

ReplyDeleteI could use them for EVERYTHING! We have 3 pairs of scissors... all dull and none of them Fiskars! Fail! I'd love to use them for crafts with my daughter!
ReplyDeleteI would use them to cut fabric, for I am just learning to sew. Oh and the pattern on scissors is so cute. It's interesting to hear some history to the company, I never would have guessed they had been around so long, very cool.

ReplyDeleteHello!! Just stumbled upon your blog, and saw this giveaway! I am taking this summer to create a quilt for my mom. She is from India, and therefore owns tons of Sari's (traditional Indian fabric). I plan on cutting the different sari fabrics into little squares, and then sewing them together to create her a quilt.
ReplyDeleteI would love the scissors - would use them to finish the quilt I'm in the middle of.
ReplyDeleteI just got a book about projects you can make using only one yard of fabric. I am going to be getting some Christmas gift mileage out of that one.....and I know I can use Fiskars to cut fabric! Actually, my husband swears by that brand of scissors....I was much less un-informed about how different scissors and shears can be in terms of quality, before I met him!
ReplyDeletehmmm i have a craft fair coming up so these would get lots of use - for fabric!
ReplyDeletei would love to use these for cutting out all my classroom stuff!! so cute! camille.yanair@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThose would definitely be my "hubby can't touch" scissors for fabric!!! Haha! They are too cute!
