i'm a little slow!

i don't know why it took me forever to figure this out, but stenciling a picture that needs bridges is sooo much easier if you put the bridges on the picture before printing it out onto freezer paper!! if that makes any sense. i don't have the good fortune to own adobe photoshop or anything cool like that for that matter, so i always open my pictures up on regular old paint and kinda stretch/skew the picture from there to get the size that i want. i've tried 3 times already to cut out hagrid in an acceptable fashion before finally realizing today that i could just erase bits of lines to make it easier for me to see when i start cutting him out!
sorries for the text only post, but just wanted to share this little tid bit with anyone else who might be a little slow like me :p
will post pictures later tonight of finished potter shirt with quotes and all!! (so excited! i'm such a nerd..)
