30 curated hashtags

DIY and Crafts hashtags for Pinterest

Craft hashtags work best when they name the material or the project: #crochet, #cricutprojects, #upcycling, #diyhomedecor. Makers search by what they have and what they want to make, so material tags are especially useful.

Hashtags versus keywords on Pinterest: hashtags are optional here. Pinterest search leans on the words in your pin title, description, board name and the text on the image, so a clear keyword phrase does far more than any tag. If you use hashtags, add two to five relevant ones at the end of the description. These tags are curated ideas with no volume data, and they tend to matter more on Instagram and TikTok.

How to use diy and crafts hashtags on a pin

Community tags like #handmade or #makersgonnamake connect you with other crafters, which matters more on Instagram than Pinterest. Use them lightly and lead with project tags.

Put the material tag first, then the project or skill: #crochet #beginnercrochet #crochetpattern. If you sell patterns or finished pieces, add a product type tag and make sure the pin links to the listing.

Example pin description

A beginner crochet market bag worked in cotton yarn. Free pattern with photo steps and a stitch guide for first time makers. #crochet #crochetpattern #beginnercrochet

DIY and Crafts hashtags to avoid

Avoid tagging every craft pin with every material you own. A macrame pin does not need #crochet or #resinart. Also skip #handmade on tutorials that teach a project; it fits finished items for sale better than instructions.

The words before the hashtags do the real work. Find phrases for them in the Pinterest keywords for diy and crafts list, generate more tags from your own topic with the Pinterest hashtag generator, and write the full description with the description generator.

DIY and Crafts hashtags FAQ

Which craft hashtags should a pattern seller use?

Material plus format: #crochetpattern, #sewingpattern, #embroiderypattern. They describe exactly what a buyer is looking for.

Do community tags like #makersgonnamake help on Pinterest?

Very little. They are useful on Instagram. On Pinterest, project and material words in your description help more.

How many hashtags on a craft pin?

Two to five relevant tags. Pick them for the specific project rather than pasting a long list.

Should I tag the skill level?

Yes. Tags like #beginnercrochet or #easycrafts reassure new makers that they can finish the project. If a project is advanced, say so in the description so readers know what they are taking on.
