I have a small side cutter that works well, but if you only have a good pair of utility scissors, that would suffice.
Of course, it's China.
This is not a good idea. Don't let a good pair of scissors go to waste. Wire should not be cut with scissors.

When you run it through the hangers on the back of a frame, it doesn't just "twist" together like regular picture wire; instead, it pops back into the shape of the roll it came in. I haven't been able to figure out how to keep it in place - at all - I tried everything and finally settled on a different brand, which I ran through the hangers, twisted off a few inches to hold it in place, and hung the frame. I'm not sure why this stuff exists or what it might be useful for. Save your money and invest it in something else.
I frequently purchase picture wire, which is described as "30 lb. " in the product description. "This isn't exactly what I'd call a 30 pounder. " I had to double the wire in order to feel safe hanging anything over 30 pounds.
I even doubled it up on a mirror I was hanging on the wall and it snapped like a rubber band.
However, the cable is frayed in multiple places, indicating that it is not a high-quality product; I wouldn't trust it to hold the 30 pounds it is rated for, but it should be fine for light-duty use.
There is enough wire to hang a large number of paintings and pictures. Outstanding worth.
This braided wire is ideal for hanging your home's dreaded pictures and wall decor. It's nice and strong, but it's also very simple to work with.
This was ordered because I wanted to hang a glass hummingbird from the curtain rod to make it look like it was 'floating. ' It is sturdy, and I am confident that it will not break. Despite the fact that I have yet to use it to hang a photograph, I am confident that it will do so flawlessly.
