yup, I've done it for the kids crafting scissors for years... my gramma showed me that trick well over 35 years ago. I've got about 5 rotary blades that I've saved for when the kids do scrapbooking / papercrafting / cardmaking projects... I may try and sharpen one of those :)

My hubby is all zappy right now, so I will definitely try the dryer trick ~ we're tired of him zapping us!

I still call it "tin" foil, gives my age away; but, thanks for the tips. Learn something new every day. Love the brown sugar hint the best, who knew?

I do this but I also put it into the refrigerator. You can keep it there for a couple of days. Just wrap it tightly.

You might find this interesting and helpful.

Wow........everything you always wanted to know about aluminum foil but were afraid to ask. Well, not quite...lol...but interesting stuff! I especially liked the dryer hint. Thanks! That's one I will probably use.
