I've been meaning to do this for a while, I just finally got around to it now. Here's my tutorial for the way I do digital mirroring. At the moment I have two main ways that I mirror Images. One is the "square or rectangle method" and the other is the triangle method. Pictured above is a pretty simple visual lesson but I will try to explain it in words.
The photo above the blue line is the original photo. I have drawn a red triangle to show the section I used for digital mirroring. Step one is as simple as that, well, almost. I am using photoshop to do all my mirroring. So first I make a square marquee selection of the part I want to mirror. (keeping in mind that I will only use half of the square selection.. a triangle) then I crop it (or rather delete everything outside the square selection so I have lots of working space) Then I make a new layer with a square at least twice the size of the one I just made. I turn it 90 degrees so it looks like a diamond and I use that to cut out the half of the original square that I don't want to use.
Ok now we are below the blue line, the bottom part of the above photo.
Once you have your triangle (which is half of a perfect square if you made it like I did) you then duplicate it on a new layer, rotate it so the diagonal edges line up. (it should be quite obvious if it is lined up right) Now you should have a square.
And that brings us to the "square mirroring method" Duplicate the square you just made on a new layer and flip it horizontally and join it with the first on the side that matches. Merge these two layers, duplicate on a new layer, flip vertically this time, line them up and BAM! There it is, a new spin on your original photo.
1. Arrange four strips of cotton in pinwheel shape like as shown in the picture. Sew two pieces next each other right sides together.

In addition to my Mosiac Skull tutorial, I've just completed two new ones: Andamento & Keystoning e-Workshop and Mosaic Flower Tutorial. If you buy both, you get a discount and my Top 5 Tips. :-) All the details are on the Tutorials page of my web site: crystalthomasmosaics.com/section/194547_Tutorials.html
Measure the widest points on the sides, mine measures 15" wide and 7.5" deep at the widest points. So my footprint is 15" x 7.5". You can slide a thin ruler under the bottom to assist you, but remember that some bits stick out further in the middle of the machine as opposed to the base, so look from the top as you're measuring.
Note: Don't sew seam allowances. Make a back stitch on both ends.
注意：このとき、縫い代は縫わないようにします。縫いはじめと終わりは必ず返し縫をします。
Not a good photo but was rushing. Just thought I'd show how a Lily of the Valley posy is made...one of the most simple flowers I think...
1. Knead paste til soft & stretchy then roll some tiny balls. Smaller balls make the buds.
2. Roll some paste thinly til you can see through it and cut out flower shape. soften edges with ball tool. Roll large ball of paste for the body, attach to a glued hook 30 gauge wire. Add flower when attached and indent the centre. This attaches both pieces as well as give the flower a natural center look.
3. Hook 33 gauge wires for tiny buds and do as above only without adding the flower top. When dry arrange on a larger wire for support, graduating as you go to a latger bud.
4. Roll out some paste (spruce & leaf green) about 1mm thick. This is quite a fleshly leaf so needs to be thicker than flowers. Leave a central area thicker as to be able to insert a 26 gauge wire. Cut out leaf shape then add a straight unhooked glued wire.
Then vein and soften edges with a metal ball tool (dresden and bone work the same). Add movement and hang to dry.
5. When all dry apply dust. I used lemon and cream for flower center, then pearl white to add a tad of sparkle. Foliage, vine, forest & leaf greens to leaf. Remember to add darker dust down central vein and lighter shades to the outer leaf. Steam flowers over kettle for a second, glaze the leaves. Set aside to dry.
6. When dry assemble......simple :)

Squealer Paper Toy Tutorial
Items you will need:
-Printout (I print out paper toys on 110lb. White card stock.)
-Glue
-Craft Knife
-Embossing Stylus Balled (optional I usually carefully score with a craft knife.)
-Small Stick (the end of a small paint brush, chopstick, or shish kabob stick)
-Scissors
-Cutting Board (optional, just don't cut up your table)
-Paper Towel (to wipe off excess glue)
-Bandages (optional, be careful when you are cutting. It's not fun to look for bandages when you are bleeding)
Notes to keep in mind:
Make sure you are having fun. That is what paper craft is all about?
Take your time.
Have extra craft knife blades handy. It is always best to cut with a sharp blade.
Cut rounded parts with scissors and straight parts with craft knife.
When scoring be careful not to score to deep and cut all the way through the model.
This Tutorial is how to make the Krampus version of the Squealer Paper Toy. This one is slightly more difficult than the Blank version that way I can show you all the techniques so you can make other versions. They are all similar so don't worry. I made the template as intuitive as I could so you should have no problems with the assembly.
Briefly read before starting
Print out Squealer Paper Toy
Ready your tools.
Roughly cut out all pieces to separate then carefully cut each individual piece.
Once all of the exterior (outside) lines of the pieces are cut out (as shown)
Score and cut the interior pieces.
Be careful not to score to deep and cut all the way through the model.
The teeth of the Krampus (or moustache of Santa) are cut and also scored.
Also note that the mouth and one of the body tabs are connected. Cut (as shown)
The tab should have a small piece missing.
Cut, score, and lift horns up.
For arms and tongue curl with craft knife.
Using the left over excess pieces add a little glue to a piece of paper and use another piece to spread the glue.
Use stick for gluing hard to reach areas. I normally hold pieces together for 15-20 seconds.
On the main part of the model glue the body together first.
Now all small parts and body should be glued.
Fold and glue "mouth inside bottom" to tab (as shown) Mouth should now protrude out from the body slightly.
Turn model upside down and glue body tabs to "mouth inside bottom" piece.
Time to form the head!
Glue all the sides of the head to form a box. Glue head top tabs to "mouth inside top".
When gluing the 5 panels that make the top of the head, it is best to add glue to all the tabs and carefully fit them all together.
Use stick to get to the hard to reach places and let the glue set.
Glue tail on before you glue basket.
Put props in the hands and position arms whatever way you see best.
Add child, and make sure all the little details are positioned and glued correctly.
There you have it the Krampus! I hope you have been a good little child.
9.Turn over. Fold the tape two times to cover the raw edge of the top.
9.バスケットを裏返し、バイアステープを三つ折りにして縁をくるむようにしてマチ針で留めます。
Sew all four sides. The picture is showing the view from the bottom of basket (wrong side).
四辺を全て、同様に縫います。すると、底から見たとき、写真のようになります（裏側です）。
8.Fold 1cm of bias tape and put it to the top of basket with right sides together. Secure the tape with pins along the top.
8.バイアステープの端を１ｃｍ折り、バスケットの上縁にあわせます。マチ針でぐるりと仮止めしていきます。
7.Insert lining into exterior wrong sides together. Align the tops and bottom corners together and pin the top.
7.裏袋布を外表になるように表袋布の中に入れます。底の四つの角と上の縁をきちんとあわせてマチ針で留めます。
This is showing how to assemble a side of basket. Fold light blue strip diagonally along light green strip, putting two sides together. Sew from bottom to the end of light blue fabric.
NOTE: Do not sew seam allowance.
縫い合わせ方を写真でご覧ください。ここでは、ライトブルーの布を斜めに、底の部分に三角ができるように折り返し、隣のライトイエローの布に布端同士を重ねるようにします。縫い代を縫いこまないようにして縫い合わせます。
7.Make gussets on the corners of the bottom. Fold seam allowance of the side to one direction. The bottom of the basket should be 7cmx7cm square.
8.マチをつくります。脇の縫い代は片側に倒し、角の部分を写真のように三角に折って点線を縫います。点線の長さは7ｃｍになっているはずです。
Before you sew, make a notch at the corner of bottom. Cut ONLY ONE LAYER. Be careful NOT TO CUT the stitches you already made!
縫い合わせる前に、底の角に当たる部分の縫い代1箇所に切り込みを入れます。切るのは、一番上の一枚（ここではライトブルーの布）だけです。縫った縫い目を切らないように十分注意してください。
Turn right side out and try on machine. I'm going to bind my edge. It's really my only option since the back came out really close to exact length. If you want to HEM your edge, mark where the cover hits the table and add a seam allowance before you trim.
If you pull the machine to the very edge of the table, it makes it easy to trim off the excess to the right length. Because I'm binding my edge, I want it to just barely skim the table top. Make sure you do this with the cover on properly, not inside out. After scissor-trimming it, I straightened it up with my rotary cutter. Cut conservatively, you can always trim off more if you left it too long.
Start with a square twice as long as you want the dress. Then you fold it like you would fold paper to cut out a snowflake.
1. Fold in half to make a long rectangle.
2. Fold in half again to make a square.
3.Fold in half on the diagonal to make a triangle.
Blended, cured and ready for a coat of primer! All that white part is epoxy clay. You can tint epoxy clay by mixing it with acrylic paint or plastic dye. I didn't bother since im painting this up anyway and i wanted the white to be obvious for this tutorial.
Use primer to ready the plastic mask for painting. Otherwise you risk the acrylic paint sliding off the raw plastic surface once you apply it.
Paint it up with craft acrylic! Once thats all done blast it with a few layers ( let dry between coats) of clear coat. Let that dry overnight if you can.. in front of a fan is ideal! Remember to vent the workspace , use a fan to move bad air out ( or do this outside) and wear a mask! This stuff is bad for you!
Add your elastic bands by scoring the parts where the elastic will be anchored ( scoring= scratching and making the surface rough to give it "tooth" for the glue to hang on to) Plop down some hot glue and use something smooth to press the elastic band down into the glue until it cools. Use more hot glue over the band/plastic... dont be stingy! Repeat for both straps.
- Make sure the elastic bands go around above your ears before gluing them on!
Protip: Because of the center of gravity of the mask with ears attached it might be a good idea to make a third strap that leads from back of the center forehead of the mask, down to the horizontal straps that attach across the back of your head. ( Ill get pics, i promise)
Let that cool for a long time before trying on the mask... even if the glue feels cool, it can still be weakened if you mess with it too early. Be patient!
Add your eyes! Glue the clear lenses first ( make sure no hot glue shows!) then cut your black out screen to the right size to cover the whole back of the eye. Glue the edges of the fabric down and...
You are done!!
