How many times do you see something on Facebook that you’d like to pin to a board on Pinterest?
Daily?
Yeah, me too.
I discovered a way to do this and wanted to share it with you — it’s a quick and easy tip … and SIMPLE!
You just need to find something to pin from Facebook…
Open the image by the regular left-click…
Right-click on the image and choose ‘view image’…
Pin from the page that opens!
**Proper Pinterest etiquette (and for legal reasons, too!) for posting an image you found on Facebook demands that you link back to the original image. When you post the image to Pinterest there is a field for that link — make sure you get the link and fill in the field!!**

And I’m counting on y’all to not tell hubby that I absconded (my word for today!) with his new Yeti microphone for this!

Aren’t you supposed to credit the PIN? You see that is why I don’t do Pinterest,is because I am afraid I am going to pin something,and I don’t know how to credit whoever for the image. But I do appreciate you showing HOW to do this.Thanks!
I didn’t mention it in the video, but I’d probably mention something about finding it on FB and any other distinguishing ID that I could readily see. I don’t pin from FB (because I thought you couldn’t until I figured this out!) I pin from other pinboards and blogs.
Hi, met you on Twitter and this is a great review of how to use Pinterest. As for the above question from Thalie, what I do is mentioned where I got it in a comment after I “pin” it. This is great because of “trackbacks”
You give credit from where you got it from, that person is notified via email, and then they follow you back. Make sense? Maybe it isn’t the correct way, but that is how I’ve been doing it.
Thanks for the great tutorial, I will pass it on to my Peeps,

I went to pinterest and tried to find the pin it button, and cannot locate it. I am so frustrated. I feel stupid, because I can’t figure out what others have already done – that being how to pin something I did NOT find on pinterest.
Hi Jan! I know it can get confusing with all these new platforms and nothing is the same on any of them! To get the ‘Pin it’ Bookmark, Log into Pinterest and click on the ‘About’ menu — the Pin It button is there in the drop down. It wasn’t there like that a few weeks ago — it was in the ‘Goodies’ section. It’s still in Goodies but they made it easier to find now. I hope it works for you! It just stays at the top near the address bar and makes it easy to pin
Let me know if you have any problems finding it 
I tried to follow your tutorial as I am interested in pinning photos I’ve taken myself on my board. My macbook pro did not me a “view photo” option when I right clicked??? any advice?
For pinning your own photos you can go straight to Pinterest and click ‘Add’ (along the top). Then choose upload a pin (as long as you’ve got it on your machine) and you’re good to go! I’m not familiar with the workings of Mac machines to know if pinning from Facebook would be any different than from a PC
I Goggled this and your site pooped up, this was so easy to do and I have been wondering forever how to do this, very helpful!!!! And I really like your site!!!
Thank you so much!!
