I'm on KalamityKat's mailing list for tubes she
makes.
She made an awesome charm Bracelet. It's the top image.
I asked permission to make a tutorial using it.
She was gracious to say yes.
Here is her bracelet in
psp mode.
Download it and save as a tube.
To be able to make silver or another color
bracelet,
I made a white version. Download it here.
Silver here
Gold here
Locket here
To make your own color of bracelet:
Open a large image. Size the tube to your image.
Add your name with your favorite font, vector mode,
resize the name to make it fit between the chain.
(I added a black background so you could see what I was doing)
When you get your name set,
If you use the premade bracelet,
do not merge the layer yet and select only your name.
Merge all but the black layer ( if you use one)
Click on the selection tool. Box in the image. Click ON the image to select it.
Open blade pro to give it a nice gold/silver/gold locket or whatever finish.
Now merge the layers on the premade bracelet.
you should still have a transparent background on both types.
This is the gold locket preset.
Surround, and click on each link separately.
Add a new layer, merge each link with it's new layer.
You will need to duplicate and possibly resize these extra links.
Duplicate and Move a link to hook the first letter to the chain.
Set the eraser on 1. Zoom in and erase a few pixels
to give the effect of the chain going through the letter.
Chain the last letter the same way.
