It's quite simple, really. Just check your recycling bin (or anywhere else) for scraps and scan them onto the computer to experiment with. I hope I explained everything okay. I can be confusing at times. xD Ask me questions if you need. I'm here to help :)

*You don't have to do it like this. Do it however you want, this is just a guide.
