I had to buy some new scissors as the ones I use are too painful on my fingers. I bought some with just straight handles - nothing to put your thumb and fingers through and they also have soft rubber hand grips. I find them easier than ordenary handles for cutting and snipping and they are quite sharp. Suexx

    I bought them from a craft site, paper crafting site, I know lots of sites for crafting do them, but the one I use is Craft Cre+===Ns and one of the top sites. They are made by but if you Google Card making the Site should come up. Then search on scissors and they show you all the types they do.
    Hope you find something. Craft sites are quite good at finding bits and bobs that help make things easier. Love Sue

    Hi all,
    I have these as well, you can also get them from disability sites/shops.
    Here's a link to a site that sell them, they seem to be called loop scissors, although the top ones look quite good!

    Another good pair of scissors are my Draper batery ones they are very good my husband got them from eBay for me. I also have a small pair of sewing snips they are brilliant for small cutting jobs and they are just straight no finger holes again eBay tryp in sewing snips or a haberdashery shop if there are such shops anymore, I say that as we don't have any here!!Or a sewing maching shops!
