HOW TO MAKE A DOLL ICON

Step 1à

Open up Paint

Make a box that’s 51x51

Step 2 à

Paste a doll into Paint next to the box

Step 3à

Use the Select tool to cut the doll so that its 48x48 and drag it into the box

Select and copy the icon –it should turn out 50x50- and paste it in a new Paint

Step 4 à

If you get a normal sized doll it would be about 3 slides

If you need an animation program you can go to downloads.com and search up animation programs--I would get CoffeeCup or Jasc

Make sure your icon is about 7kb or less

To put it as your AIM icon save it and go to Preferences, Icons then Browse, look for it, and open it up.
