Would you please pin your comment linking the PRODUCT you braved about through this video? I was excited to search for & purchase these ASAP for a trip that is only days away, but no product name or packaging picture was shared & I’ve spent a lot of time scrolling through the NUMEROUS comments to find what I need to BUY them. Maybe it would be easier if I were on a regular computer instead of a phone app but that’s how a lot of people view videos.

[@maryskorda7292]

I would like to see a collaboration with a plus size person so you can make altercation and styles on her so we get also inspired ❤

[@beeb6730]

Yes please!

[@babyruthless9670]

I keep thinking this when I see her vidéos 😅 she's so skinny I cannot relate to many of her diys but somehow keep watching because she's very creative! 😅

[@mrsmojet1]

Yeah

[@sheilagilleland4312]

This is so helpful. God bless you, your absolute the best! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@zahrasotoudeh37]

Yes please, or at least large person than you. ❤

[@mariaraynor]

I love this as a big girl who is currently losing weight! It now means that I don’t have to update my wardrobe as quickly (i can just cinch) plus I still get to wear the clothes I love and save pennies for when I actually need to buy new stuff. Orly, you have made my whole day, week, month and year and I absolutely adore for that, great job 🎉❤😊

[@jayerwin1025]

Me too

[@Orly_Shani]

congrats! yes this will come in handy to pinch and cinch little spots :) have fun!

[@mariaraynor]

Thank you Orly! 🥰

[@mariekastler5391]

Ikr!? Seems like rewarding weight gain if I fit in my faves, again. This way, they flex With me!

[@katiebeantown7355]

These tips are so helpful for size shifts. I fluctuate between a few sizes & hate feeling like i don’t have a good fit.

[@einbisschenchaotis]

People asking for ideas for plus size women. I'm near plus size but I really appreciate your job bc you inspire me and I can try these tips and try new ones!! Thank you Orly very much!

[@loridresser9420]

As someone who buys fabric while traveling, the skirt hack is brilliant. No waiting until I’m home, I can wear it now.

[@llllllllllilillii]

totally. I'm always wrapping fabric around and making dresses etc and out of laziness never sew them.

[@DrMaryVision]

I did not want this video to end!!! My mind is exploding with ideas! My proportions are not very standard, I love hiding my tummy, and I like having my clothes be comfortable but also want them to look fitted. I am also already thinking of black, white, or cream matte nail polish for painting some of the pins so they visually disappear. The possibilities are endless! These could also work for the wrap pants that you showed us so we can easily go to the restroom without fighting with the ties!! This just might be the best video ever for no sew fun!

[@Orly_Shani]

Ohhh painting them!!! what a great idea!!!

[@alys4570]

Just a little fyi: the pins can be a little bit of a challenge to get into place, through fabric, and sometimes the backs stick. I’d rather deal with fabric ties. Unless you’re only using the pins that come with 4 pins, two hooks, when put together, you have a clip situation.

[@pattifeit4354]

Brilliant!

[@VeganDoris]

So cute and clever! 11:25 Just be careful with satin, faux leather, and other shiny fabrics: a pin can leave a permanent hole.

[@DawnDavidson]

It is true that since these are pins, one must be careful not to damage certain fabrics, like silks, satins, leather, and suede. That said, I’ve installed permanent eyelets/grommets in a suede garment where I knew I would want to keep pinning something over and over (it was a Renaissance Scottish doublet for my husband, and he needed a spot to secure the end of his great-kilt to his shoulder! 😂). So I could imagine doing that on some jackets or pants, if you didn’t want to sew it in place. You could put the eyelets in a deliberate pattern for a different design detail whether you were pinning it or not, and maximum flexibility. :)

[@mssid708]

Ummm Ma'am I just wanted to THANK YOU!!!! I seen this video a week ago and I now have my pins and I'm LOVING them!!! They are just what I needed for styling without permanent alterations!!! You're APPRECIATED so much for this hack!!!! Please share more ideas!!! Queen Behavior 👑💜💯💐

[@tarbhnathrac]

Another option- Take that hunk of vacation fabric. Drape over shoulders and pin under arms. Instant poncho with 'sleeves'. Can also pin in front to close the front.

[@NAMRETMOZELLE]

THANK YOU, ORLY! This hack was a life-changing, game-changer, simply genius idea!

[@CathyRueterWriter]

This is awesome, especially for those of us who go up and down between sizes. ❤

[@taracisco4467]

Thank you thank u thank u Orly for being u

[@highclassinborrowedshoes]

I have had those pins for months (tighten waist on jeans) and never thought of using them for something else! So creative of u

[@toomuchsnow6143]

😰You single handedly just fixed half of the garments in my closet!!! How did I live without these snappy buttons all this time??? What's going on?! Wishing you more subscribers!!! You rock, girl!! 👍👍👍

[@jamiebryant3487]

I love this little idea so much!! It makes such simple changes into dramatic impacts!! I am definitely doing this!

[@theresaguilmino8351]

Thank you for this video. You have such great ideas. I have been sewing for years(an amateur) and have never come across these pins. I have a few pieces of clothing that really could use these.

[@giulitorelli]

Where is the link for the thingies?

[@nancylee2687]

You are so amazing - I bought those extenders and the pins are a total clothes saver!!! No alterations, waiting for tailor or needing to adjust for weight gain/loss. Thank you X1000!

[@lizlane7278]

The possibilities are endless.

[@cdugral]

Usually I hate hate hate it, when videos start with a „Sponsor“… because I never ever have a need for those things. But Junes Journey is next level. I am playing JJ for years. It is my favorite game. I am always redesigning my islands.

[@MMSCOTT-mx8dm]

Great idea! I have a dress I was going to have altered (as I have loss weight), but this hack I can just take it in myself! Thank you.♥

[@amberfrazier575]

You have to sew it but you can smock the back of an over sized t shirt by winding elastic Thread to the bobbin on the sewing machine. Just a rectangle in the back center looks so cute!

[@angelsmith4467]

This is an awesome hack, I like to use brooches for some dresses , so this is a really cool item to add😊

Ohhh Boy! A Huuuuge THANK YOU to you! I’ve been looking for a No Sew way to take in my clothes since I lost 45 pounds but still like what I currently own.. what a money saver!

[@SusanLBlish]

I've been playing June's Journey for over 4 years now and LOVE it. It really helps with memory. Would recommend it to anyone that has 30 minutes a day.. Love your energy and style.

[@Orly_Shani]

Oh love that!! I'm so glad im not alone in thinking that! haha

[@jandavis7213]

You are adorable! This is genius! Great inspiration!

[@lucky0n3]

I just love how your creative mind things, Orly.. THANK YOU, once again.

[@Vickiboe592]

You’re so good. Thank you

[@maureenadams808]

This is exactly what I have been looking for

[@secondeve610]

Added to my cart, very excited to try, thank u!!!

[@llllllllllilillii]

Thank you for the little buttons idea. This is GREAT!!! for the tank sleeves that I want to be a little more halter-y like you and have them stop slipping off my shoulders which drives me CRAZY. THANK YOU!!!

[@wendywalkerwalker2584]

I have the opposite issues that you do; I'm less than 5' tall, F cup size, and currently, (but temporarily) the rest of my is plus size. And I found this video to be one of the MOST useful videos I've ever seen! I would love for you to work with different body types once in a while, but I get so much from your channel. Thank you!

[@danaventura5998]

Great ideas! Great for someone who's weight fluctuates as well.

[@TheGreta2400]

I discovered these little pins last year and I use them on everything now. I used them all winter to style my scarfs & sweaters in unique creative ways.

[@juliadawnyel3648]

Where did you find

[@elizabethtapia1138]

Súper tips, 😊

[@MsMsShopaholic]

Love this! I always have safety pins everywhere and they look terrible. I’m about your size and it’s always tricky with bottoms to get them just right. Thank you! Love your videos!!! ❤

[@DeliaSmith-te3lo]

I like the tool she uses. So quick and no fuss.....

[@gfitfitnessstudio]

You have just changed my life!!!!!!!!!

[@Orly_Shani]

and you're note exaggerating! its true lol

[@mikeandjeanninejeffers1196]

You are amazing Orly!! I have used your other alteration hacks from past videos but these little pins are a great answer for me and my weird body shape. Thank you, thank you. God Bless

[@katlambert3649]

I think I will call these “Fashion Enhancements”! What a lifesaving idea this is for me. Sizes are crazy and things that fit usually need a little tweak. (So glad I learned to sew). Girl’s gotta love a great lookin’ quick fix! Thanks for sharing your self 💕

[@ankem5897]

So amazing. I was so hesitant to wear a lot my clothes because yes they needed to be wider but a belt was so not flattering. Love these hacks. Thank you so much.

[@topsecret4342]

OMG... I can't believe I've found this video! I've been "bustling" my shirts for years because finding items that fit my wide shoulders, tiny waist is impossible! I've been using safety pins or tacking it with a needle and thread. These are amazing! Thanks for the video, I've been watching you for quite a while! I look forward to more!

[@LaineyBug2020]

You should look into designing some of your own for Rock Knot! They could maybe be a lower priced option for people to support your brand who don't necessarily like all out bling or jewelry but like those little accents!

[@sandracox9287]

I bought a bunch of those and use them ALOT! I have lost weight recently so they give new life to items that are a bit to large!! Thank you!!!

[@MyWhitelye]

Where can I get those cargo jeans????? I LOVE THEM!!!!

[@polasanchez-baker8746]

Love, love, love! Thanks, Orly! I love this! So useful!

[@marisadalgleish2735]

These are great ideas to change a piece of clothing you are tired of wearing! Thanks, Orly, I love your videos!

[@inesgrana3971]

Orly I used to add crystals to tie pins. I'm so glad someone thought to do this and add the cinchers to this. Fabulous!!

[@marabolin3038]

Thank you Sooooo much! I’m always needing to alter clothes as my shoulders , rib cage narrow and hips large. This is much easier than sewing darts! I love it!

[@le-netteleveston6835]

Thanks for sharing. Will try.

[@katherinerichardson1767]

FANTASTIC!! I love the variations of the garments. Thanks for sharing.

[@denisesiddon317]

Some really creative beautiful solutions.

[@mcicalese58]

Girl you just saved the day for me. I purchased two light trench coats on EBay. One black and one camel. One Neiman Marcus and one Nordstrom. Both were too big. I was going to sew them but now I don't have to. Just ordered these things from Amazon. I know it will work because the material on both coats is thin enough. Thank you so much. I never knew these things existed!

[@pattifeit4354]

Thaaank yoooooouu! So much! I'm in the middle of a weight loss journey and now I don't have to replace my wardrobe (as if!) when I go down a size. Sure I could have used safety pins, but ew.

[@maxramsey7860]

Very cool ideas 💡 I bought those crystals a month ago and I forgot I have them to fix my oversize jeans. Thanks for great ideas . Keep it coming

[@cwiggins7416]

Excellent tips!! Thanks for always sharing your creativity with us!❤

[@Orly_Shani]

my pleasure! thanks for watching!

[@christyxandrick5168]

I will now be wearing that beautiful skirt in the back of my closet! And that dress! Oooohhh, and that open cardigan! Wow I have a whole new wardrobe!!! Thank you Orly!!!! 🎉

[@Orly_Shani]

That's my goal! get the most out of the pieces you already own!

[@ceciliacase3901]

I love this, was just trying to find a solution for an oversized denim vest without have to sew it. Thank you!!

[@Sherriehoney]

So I order these......So much fun. Everything fits.

[@christinefrier7888]

Orly, you are a genius with these no sew alternations! Love it!

[@DawnDavidson]

Nice! I can also imagine using these to anchor scarves, when you want something smaller and less noticeable than a statement pin, or when you’d like to anchor it in multiple places. As a short person, I can really see using these for the pants cuffing you showed. I also have used decorative pins a lot for pinning fronts of shirts closed (I’m busty), and the small and repetitive nature of these is great to make it look like a purposeful “design detail”. Since I’ve always been curvy, finding flowy jackets/sweaters that fit my hips and bust but still allow some shape at my waist is very difficult. Even more so, now that I’m a larger size, since most designers think that plus size gals all want to wear boxy tents (grrr). I’ve tried using the elastic clips, but I find that they will sometimes pop off, and getting them to stay in the right place is tough. With the pin-on versions, it might still take some time to get them in the right spot, but once there, they’d be less likely to pop off and require fixing mid-afternoon. And then there are the sleeve cuffs, which, again, being short and curvy, if they fit my upper arms and bust, the sleeves are often way too long, and I’m often pushing them up my arms. Which is sometime ok, but sometimes not, especially in winter. And of course, adding these to those “20 different ways to wear” piece of fabric / wrap pants / wrap skirts will expand the options even further! They’d be perfect to hold wrap pants closed in the fall and spring, for instance.

[@Tunenine]

omg I'm so buying two of these buttons, since clothes usually fall off my waist but are tight on the bun, I struggle and since my arms are long and skinny, my shirts look too big, buttons, buttons, excellent video.

[@joycekaminski1943]

Thanks for the other idea's for using Insta-buttons. I had been using the one or two pins I had to close the front of sweaters but your other ideas are genius. I have a jean dress that is kind of baggy so these will work so well. Thanks again Love you!

[@yaweeel404]

Love these stylish and useful buttons as replacement for safety pins! So many great ideas here and in your other vids on DIY without sewing. So happy I discovered you...excited to create more from your ideas! Thank you.

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

The buttons on the skirt are amazing! Looks even better than before.

[@Orly_Shani]

I think so too!

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

@@Orly_Shani Btw, what is the material for the colorful piece of fabric for the skirt? It looks so silky but not wrinkly. I live in LA so I can go downtown for fabric. Thank you very much.

Yes thank you so much for the tips. And were too find them. I have a package of Jean buttons but haven't seed the Crystal ones and the piece. And didn't show how too make a over sized mans shirt into a dress with adding elastic at both sides.

[@Inna-sa]

You can buy those clipping backs separately and use with any pin badge ❤

[@randomvielleuse527]

I literally just bought these little pin things because I KNEW they would be useful. And they've been lying there looking so cute and I just didn't know how to use them... But, thanks to you, now I do! Thank you so much!
