There are two different ways to insert your latest pins into you sidebar. Here are the two possible looks.

1. You can configure it easily under Appearance/ Widgets by dragging it to your sidebar and inserting your pinterest username.

2. Install this Pinterest feed by adding the Pinterest RSS Plugin under your Plugins section of your dashboard.

3. After you activate the plugin, then visit your Widgets section. Drag the widget to your sidebar, enter your Pinterest username, and configure the settings to your preference/ taste. Viola! Cute pinterest pins in the sidebar.
