The trick is to work on the inside of your shape and not fill in every single box along the edge of your clip art. So your heart won’t have smooth edges like a drawn heart. Keep in mind that you are creating a pixelated picture. With my paint bucket tool, I fill in the boxes to create a similar heart. That serves as my outline in the background.
In this case I googled “Heart Clip Art” and chose a basic heart shape to copy and past into a new layer in photoshop.

At this point you can go ahead and fill in your squares with the paint bucket tool from your tool bar.īUT if you need a little inspiration or help, you can use free clip art as your background image. Rasterize your layer in the layers pallet. Then you can click on the individual boxes to all sides (or just the right side and bottom) of the grid to number each box! Select the entire grid and the numbers and copy your selection. Highlight a section (I am using a small grid as an example) then go up to the “apply borders to the selection” button in your overhead menu and select “all borders.” This will give you the grid.
I like to customize my own graphs and to do that I start with Microsoft Excel to create the numbered grid. It’s no secret that I love C2C (Corner-to-Corner) crochet projects! And one question that has been asked several times is “how do you make your graphs?” In this post I show you exactly how I create my graphs (short answer is Excel and Photoshop) and I also give you links to other tools you can use to create your own graphs as well!
