Even a small city patio can transport you elsewhere if you hang romantic string lights. Rustic wooden furniture becomes cozy when layered with pillows and sheepskin throws and set beside a fire pit.

What happened Pinterest users who click on a home- or style-related pin—that is, an image with a description and link to the original online source, the main currency of Pinterest—will now see a collection of similar shoppable items and recommendations.
By adding metadata to their product pages, companies can enable Product Pins or entire product catalogs that live on Pinterest. This move comes after Pinterest acquired the image recognition and visual search startup VisualGraph in —a merger that also resulted in the February launch of a feature that matches Pinterest content to photos uploaded by users.
Why it matters Pinterest now has million monthly users, but must continue its fight to stay relevant in the age of Instagram, which hit 1 billion monthy users in June Both apps are image-based, and both are ramping up efforts to become more shoppable, enabling users to discover more products, even if they are not actively using the app or site to shop.
Pinterest allows users to easily save image boards on their profiles—a type of personalization that Instagram lacks Instagram users can save images in a private feed, but the company has not prioritized building out this feature. A more deeply integrated productization effort between brands and Pinterest can help it differentiate from the competition, essentially allowing users to make wishlists and discover more products that keep them spending more time on the app.
For its new feature to pay off, it will have to become a go-to shopping destination—the site consumers start a product search on, instead of Amazon, Google, Instagram or another platform—so that more brands advertise on Pinterest, building its only source of revenue. It seems like Pinterest is already working to do so: In tandem with the launch of Product Pins, the company also revamped its Ad Manager tool to streamline the ad-buying process for brands and agencies.

Pin one end of elastic to end of fabric tube to keep in place. Attach a safety pin to the other elastic end and use it to thread elastic through the fabric tube, bunching the fabric together as you go.
Unpin elastic, holding ends together. Sew open ends of fabric together by hand, using a ladder stitch to close the tube and hide the seam. You will end up with a flat stitched spot in the tube. Some people are fine with hiding that spot in the "scrunch". I prefer hand sewing. As an Amazon Associate and member of other affiliate programs, I earn from qualifying purchases.

A wider piece of fabric will make a scrunchie larger and fluffy. Using a narrower piece of fabric will make a thinner, less puffy scrunchie. Make a mini-scrunchie by reducing both the length and width of the fabric rectangle.
