Pinterest’s New Remix Feature: How Handmade Sellers Can Tap Into This Exciting Tool

Boost Your Visibility and Creativity with Pinterest Remix

Pinterest is no stranger to creative tools and innovative features, and their latest launch—the Pinterest Remix feature—is no exception. As a handmade seller, keeping up with platform updates like this one is essential to staying relevant and engaging your audience. But what exactly is Pinterest Remix, and how can you use it to boost your handmade business?

Let’s take a look to see what the new feature offers and how you can leverage it to stand out.

What is Pinterest Remix?

Pinterest Remix is a new feature that allows users to interact with existing pins by remixing them. It’s similar to what you see on TikTok with the “duet” feature, where creators can take an existing video and add their own creative spin to it. On Pinterest, you can take someone else’s pin and remix it by adding your own ideas, images, or videos to create something new and original.

This opens up a world of possibilities, especially for handmade sellers. You can remix a pin related to your niche, showcase how your products complement existing ideas, or provide a fresh take on a popular trend. It’s all about building on what’s already out there while adding your own creative twist.

Note: Collages are currently available on iOS and Android mobile devices only. If you don't see the option to create a collage, make sure you're using the latest version of the Pinterest app.

How Handmade Sellers Can Utilize Pinterest Remix

Here’s how you can use Pinterest Remix to elevate your handmade business:

1. Showcase Your Products in Action

Remix popular pins to show your product being used in real-life scenarios. For instance, if there’s a trending DIY craft pin, remix it by showing how your handmade product fits perfectly into the project.

Example: If someone posts a pin about styling their living room for the holidays, you could remix it with images of your handmade holiday decorations or candles and demonstrate how they enhance the space.

2. Collaborate with Other Creators

Pinterest Remix makes collaboration easier than ever. Remix pins from other makers or influencers in your industry to highlight how your products complement each other. It’s a great way to build community and cross-promote your products.

Example: Remix a pin from another handmade seller showcasing their pottery, and add your handmade table linens to create a full dining scene.

3. Engage with Trends

Trends are everything on Pinterest, and with Remix, you can hop on trending content while adding your unique twist. Find trending pins in your niche and remix them with your products or ideas, keeping your content timely and relevant.

Example: Remix a trending pin about gift ideas by showing how your product makes the perfect holiday stocking stuffer or personalized gift.

4. Educate Your Audience

Remix pins with step-by-step tutorials or educational content related to your product. You can remix pins with product recommendations, how-tos, or even customer reviews to build trust with your audience.

Example: If there’s a popular pin about sustainable living, remix it to show how your eco-friendly handmade products fit perfectly into a sustainable lifestyle.

How I Use Pinterest Remix in My Business

As a handmade seller, I’ve started using Pinterest Remix to engage more creatively with my audience. One of the ways I’ve found it helpful is by remixing trending pins in my niche, like home decor or DIY craft projects, and incorporating my own handmade products into the mix. For example, I recently remixed a pin about creating a cozy fall vibe, where I added images of my handmade candles. This remix showed my audience how my products fit into popular trends while giving them fresh, creative ideas.

Not only has it boosted my Pinterest engagement, but it’s also been a fun way to collaborate with other creators and expand my reach on the platform. I love using Remix as a way to highlight how my products can be part of bigger trends while showing the personal touch behind my brand. I'm currently experimenting with using them in TikTok videos.
