An old but effective trick is to use a glass bottle. Open the scissors and try to cut the top off the bottle gently. Do this motion several times, applying light pressure. The glass acts as a sharpening surface and helps improve the sharpness of the blades.

Additional tips:
Regular maintenance: Don’t wait until your scissors are completely dull to sharpen them. Regular maintenance will make them last longer and work better.
Oiling: After sharpening, you can apply a drop of oil to the center screw to make the scissors move more smoothly.
Test the sharpness: Once you’re done sharpening, test the sharpness by cutting a piece of fabric or thick paper. If the scissors cut easily, the process has been successful.
Proper storage: Storing scissors in a dry, clean place also prolongs the life of the sharpness.
Sharpening scissors at home is easier than it seems, and with these methods, you can keep your scissors in tip-top shape without having to spend on expensive tools or sharpening services. Give it a try!
