A special thanks to marasign123 for this tutorial.

You will need:
- GIMP
- MS Paint
- The Internet

Step 1:
Open GIMP and set the size to 50X50 (The size of your avvie)

Step 2:
You'll need to open MS Paint.
We are going to use our doll as our picture.
For this step we are opening MS Paint.

Step 3:
Go to your profile and press 'Prt Scr SysRp' Or print screen located next to F12 at the top of your keyboard.

Step 4:
You just copied your screen.
You now go to MS Paint and Paste.
Your whole screen will come up now.

Step 5:
Ok, this should show you:
i46.tinypic.com

Step 6:
Time to put your doll onto the Avvie!
This could be complicated, so I made this:
i49.tinypic.com

Step 7:
Open another MS Paint window, Go back to GIMP and select and copy the whole picture, paste it into MS Paint and make it the right size,

Step 8:
Put a black border around it with the rectangle tool or line tool in MS Paint. Then use the white colour and the line tool and put a few lines at the sides, go back to the black and on each white line put black on both sides so your avvie looks like it's in pieces. This is mine:

i47.tinypic.com

Step 9:
This gets a bit more complex
Open a new window or tab and go to:
www.dafont.com

The rest of this step will be explained here:
i50.tinypic.com

Step 10:
We will use the smaller text.
once you print screened it (In step 9) paste it into paint like in step 3 and 4.
I am using the text Star. I already have one with my name.

Step 11:
Now copy and paste the smaller text:
