If one wants to post pins from Pinterest to Tumblr, then it’s quite easy.

Therefore in order to do it, you have to go with the process of Pinterest Bookmarklet, which allows you to pin anything from Tumblr to the Pinterest board without any hassle.
The following is a detailed description and process of how to use this method as a convenient tool to pin images from Tumblr to Pinterest:
