Your looking for UV mapping. Search "UV mapping tutorials" for a tutorial on it, and it would help to state your software when you search.

 

Yes, uv mapping, and if you're brave, you can try uv unwrapping, lot more fun

 

I suggest even using Texporter...It it very easy to use and you can find it by doing a simple search on the web for it.

 

Hi matey,

Try this tutorial, probably one of the best out there for beginners in mapping and texturing

Also definitely use Texportet like Darth_Steven said, makes life so much easier.

Cheers,
