3. Locate the background image , size 100 use it to fill your layer with.
4. New layer.
5. Select selection tool circle and draw a large circle.
6. Fill it with a nice color from your background.
7. Texture effects – find a texture to your liking, I picked delicate canvas.
8. Move this layer over at least half of your background layer ( see example ).
9. Get your eraser and erase the circle’s edge very gently; this’ll give you a frayed effect.

Don’t forget to also adjust this setting to about 5 when you’re using a 600 x 600 pixel image.

11. New layer.

14. Filter Eye Candy 4000 or Eyecandy 3 weave, with the following setting:  

 ( Divide 600 x 600 by 4 e.g. 4.10 and 1.14, the rest will be the same ).

15. New layer.
16. Add Tube ‘stiksel’ (stitches) to the picture tube folder, locate it and draw stitches from left to right horizontally.

(600 x 600 users are lucky this time around, for all they’ll have to do is copy and paste the stitches tube as a new layer.

17. Move the stitches to a nice spot on your layout, duplicate this layer and paste it onto the border once more. Lock both background layer and circle layer for the next step.
