LET'S GET STARTED

Open template. Shift D, close the orginial. Image canvas size 750x700. Delete by missy, freakish wordart, kinda freakish, and background.

Instructions for coping and pasting. Activate the layer. Selections-select all-float-defloat-selections-invert, active paper or tube layer and hit delete. When you see C/P in the tut that means Copy and Paste.

Copy and paste desired papers into each layer.  Then delete the original layers. 

I used paper4 for circle left. 

Paper3 for circle right.

 Paper10 for rectangle top and rectangle bottom.

Paper17 for thin rectangle top and bottom.

Paper6 for circle center.

Paper16 for small circle center.

Paper14 for circle edge.

For rectangle center, make a blk and gray gradient-linear-angle210-repeats3. Select-add new layer and floodfill.

Before deselecting c/p your tube on each side of the rectangle, invert-hit delete. Change blend mode to luminance(L). Deselect.

Add tube of choice. Place in the middle of the template, if you are using one with the legs cut off like mine you will need to place the thin rectangle over it so that it doesn't show. Add drop shadow.
