Switch one side into UV/image editor and leave other side to display the model.

Begin cutting  up model by selecting edges and using ctrl+e to mark seam.

Select the whole model by pressing a and then u to unwrap. Make modifications to segments if needed. Rearrange, resize pieces as needed. Move pieces that are too close together.
