Now add the template as a new layer, you can colourize to match your tube/image.

2, Grab your preset shapes tool & choose the rectangle/ fill white.

Draw out a small rectangle ( check tag for reference ) convert to raster later.

Now grab your magic wand & select inside the white rectangle/selections/contract 10

Bring up your tube & take a piece from the tube, I used the head.

X out all layers except the the white rectangle and the image & merge visible.

Duplicate them 3x's, so you should now have a total of 4 rectagles with the images.

Place into position ( check tag for reference )

X out all layer again except the 4 rectangles & merge visible. I changed the opacity to 68.

3, Now add the chains, heart, bows & any other embellishments .

Bring up your tube & resize if needed.

Now select your tube with the magic wand.

selections/select all /float/defloat/selections modify by 5 or 6 .Add a new raster layer & fill with

X out all layers except the tube & the outline we just made. Turn all layers back on.
