Tutorial: Clipping Masks

I am going to teach you guys how to make a clipping mask! If you have seen the two I have done recently they are pretty easy to do.

First step:

Find a picture that you would like to use. I chose this one because it is close to Christmas, YAY!!

Second Step:

You will want to make letters or a text box, either one works. Of whatever you want to type in. I am doing Merry Christmas. 

Third Step: 

You want to find whatever picture you want to put into the letters. I am doing Christmas lights. 

Fourth Step: 

You will scale the image and put it over the letters that you want to have the picture in. 

Fifth Step: 

You will right click and go down to Create Clipping Mask. Once you click that, it will be made. Then you scale it however you want. 

(the reason why it say's release clipping mask is because I already created it) Then you are done!
