How to Make a Banner for Your Blog using Pic Monkey - Easy Peasy

Pic Monkey is a free online photo editor.
There is a paid portion of it, but I have found that, although the paid features of
Pic Monkey
are great,
right now, I don't need them. 
So, here's how to make a blog banner using pic monkey!
Trust me,
easy peasy!

Here you go!  Go to PicMonkey!
At the top of the home page, you have choices,
1) Edit a photo
or 
2) Create a collage.
Click on
Create a collage.

Click on
"Ducks in a Row."
This will give you a choice of templates for your banner.

I like the template that will allow you to import either 3 or 4 photos.

This time I chose a 3 photo template.
I clicked on open and imported 3 photos that I wanted to use.

At the bottom of the template, you'll see the size.
I change the size from 3000 x 1000 to 
1200 x 400.
This fits my blog banner.

I clicked on the edit feature.
I changed the background color to a light orange.

Using this same screen, I rounded the corners of my photos and changed the spacing between the photos.

I again clicked on the edit button at the top of the page.
I wanted to add text.

I added the text:
For the Love of Beads, 
and then I clicked the
Save
button.

A new screen came up.
I clicked on
Save to my computer.
My new banner collage,
saved to my computer.
See what I mean?
Easy Peasy!
