How To Add Text To An Image Using "Paint"

Hi everyone! I've had some questions from people on how to add text to their images - it's something I ask for all submissions so that you get full credit for the image.  Here are a couple of videos on how to do this with a Windows default program, Paint.

This program works well if you don't want to do any other editing to your photos (like cropping) - if all you need to do is add text so you can email it to me :D then this is the easiest method for you.


(Note: there are two videos because I forgot to include the instructions for saving at the end of the first video - if you already know how to "save as" you don't need to watch the second video.  Unless you really just like hearing my voice, then you can feel free to watch it.)

Welcome to the new followers!

Wow, 15 followers in the first week!  Welcome, everyone! I hope you enjoyed the first Finish Friday.  Are you thinking about a project you are close to finishing?  I know finishes always motivate me to put in a few extra stitches!

I'll be doing a couple of videos on how to add text to your pictures, because I know not everyone is familiar with that - I hope to have the first up by Tuesday (think of it as Tutorial Tuesday - I have a thing for alliteration).  I use more than one method, so I'll be showing you the different ways I do it.

If you have a finishing tutorial for any kind of stitchery that you are willing to share with the masses, let me know.  Let's make this a great resource and inspiration for stitchers everywhere to FINISH!
