Note: As this was made back in 2009, I can't guarantee that this still works.
This is just a tutorial for people that don't know how to make a spray or forgot how to.

1. Find the pictures that you want to have in you spray
2. Download and Install VTFEdit (Download)
3. Open up a image editor (Photoshop, Gimp, Paint.Net, etc)
4. Create a new canvas with the dimensions 128 px x 128 px or 256 x 256
5. Make the background completely transparent
6. Position your image in the box that you made, then save. (Do Not Resise)
7. Animated: Repeat steps 4-6 until happy with animation (each picture is 1 frame or one picture of the animation)
Non-Animated: Go to the next step. More pictures are only needed if the spray is animated.
