How to create a board on Pinterest

As a Pinterest user, you will know that you can save as many pins as you want. To keep your pins organized and easy to find, you can categorize them each on a Pinterest board. Saving these pins to your various boards is simple, but creating a new board is a bit more difficult.

If you want to save a new pin collection, you've come to the right place. Here we will show you how to create a new table in a few simple steps.

How to Create a Pinterest Board on a PC

There are two ways to create a Pinterest board. The first allows you to create a new board from your profile page. You can then add pins to it later. You can also create a new board when saving a pin. This second option is great when you find a pin you want to keep but don't have a suitable board to save it to.
