Although I briefly touched on the site last week in my Share & Voice post. I thought I would stress the usefulness and educate all of you a little more on Pinterest. Pinterest is a vision-board styled social website where you share ideas, interests, and your creativity with one another. You are allowed to 'like' pictures, similar to the style of Facebook, where you can then go back and reference the posts you have liked. The thing I am most enjoy is creating 'Boards'. You can 'Pin' pictures to your boards and create themes for yourself to follow. Personally, I have boards for things such as DIY projects, Photography Poses, and Rooms that I want in my future house! By simply searching in the search bar, you can find an incredible amount of ideas for recycling, upcycling, junking, and other DIY projects. You can also view people Boards, so when you are searching and find someone with a board titled 'Awesome Upcycling Ideas', chances are there are going to be lots more pictures within that board that aren't even listed in the search results! Let's say for example you have an excessive amount of wine corks laying around your house that you for some reason decided to keep (don't worry, I'm guilty too..). Simply searching 'Wine Cork Upcycling' will give you more results than you can even handle! If you are really into this, you could just look around at all the random things in you're home and start deciding what you could turn them into and soon you'll have a house full of hybrid products than were formerly useless! And you don't have to worry about forgetting what you saw or saving the link address to go back to later, just re-pin it to your Board that you have created! I hope that a lot of you are as interested in this site as me! It has already been a ton of help for me with my photography, and I have found lots of cool DIY ideas that I am looking forward to trying once I obtain the resources for them! You can also 'Follow' people on Pinterest, so if you find someone who has lots of common interests, follow them and you will see all of the posts they like or re-pin. I look forward to seeing lots of you on Pinterest so we can share ideas with each other!
