Next, we went to the Blue Button Scarf project page on FaveCrafts and pinned it, making sure to use the #FaveCrafts hashtag.

A pin is an image from the webpage you’re on as well as some text (all pins appear as pop ups on your screen). If you’re new to Pinterest and aren’t sure how to pin a project, check out Pinterest’s helpful About page.
