STEP ONE: FIND THE YOUR NEW IMAGE
You can do a google search or there’s cute folder image packs for sale on Etsy!
A PNG with a transparent background works best so that it can have the floating look on your desktop.

Drag your image to the desktop and then open it up in Preview.
Select the whole image with Select All (⌘ + A)
Copy the whole image (⌘ + C)
STEP THREE: GET INFO
Right click the folder you want to change the icon on. And click “Get Info”.
There should be a panel of info that pops up.
STEP FOUR: PASTE NEW ICON
Click on the icon at the top left and then Paste (⌘ + V) in the image you just copied from Preview.
STEP FIVE: REPEAT
Repeat that process with all of the folders you want to change! And the BOOM! brand new beautiful desktop.
