    James, GIMP is free from gimp.org Anyway, after geting a picture (Snip or snag) from designer, of your project. Open it in Gimp, go to filter, then scroll down to Map, then Map Object. Then choose map to cylinder. There are some settings that allow you to set the diameter, etc. I usually set the radius to 12 or so.. click preview and then if is is what you want, click OK. You can rotate the mapped object to see the front, sides, or anywhere you want. If you want a better explanation, just let me know.
