How to Draw Scissors
Draw scissors in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: left blade.
Step 1: Left blade
Below the middle of your paper imagine a dot. From it draw a long thin blade slanting up-left.
Tip The blade is about 4 times longer than wide.
Step 2: Right blade
Draw the same blade slanting up to the right, crossing at the dot, so they make a big V.
Step 3: The screw
Where the blades cross draw a small round circle for the screw.
Step 4: Left handle
Start at the screw. Draw 2 short lines slanting down left and end in a big tilted oval ring.
Step 5: Right handle
Start at the screw. Draw 2 short lines slanting down right and end in a big tilted oval ring.
Step 6: Finger holes
Inside each ring draw a smaller oval, leaving a thick rim all round.
Step 7: Shine lines
On each blade start near the tip. Draw one light line down the middle and stop near the screw.
Step 8: Sparkles
Draw a sparkle star on each side of the scissors.
Step 9: Yellow stars, red handles
Colour the stars yellow, and the handles and rings red, leaving the holes white.
Step 10: Grey blades
Colour both blades and the screw grey. Your scissors are done!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: scissors, drawn by you.
