PSP X though other versions of PSP may give the same results with this tutorial

A face tube
Open a new transparent canvas 500 x 500-flood fill this canvas with a gradient to match your tube

Image-picture frame-look for the frame called 'film'-settings-frame current layer and frame outside of image

With magic wand select the small rectangles on the top and bottom of the frame-to select all at the same time hold down the shift key while you are selecting.

Effects-3D effects-chisel size 90-transparent ticked and chose a light colour to match the gradient you used earlier.

Select none and layers -merge visible

Image-resize-60%-maintain original print size and weighted average setting

Copy and paste the tube as a new layer and arrange on the gradient bottom line if you used my tube-arrange as you wish if you used one of your own.

Layer duplicate-effects-distortion effects -ripple. Settings for this are Horizontal 80 -Vertical 50- Amplitude 70 -Wavelength 10- edge mode repeat

Adjust -sharpness -sharpen. If your tube was a dull one repeat this action.

Now arrange this layer to the right hand side of the canvas so that the left edge of the gradient shows.

Layers arrange-move down.

Image-add border-size 5- in a colour of your choice

Add a new layer for any text you might like to add to the tag. When you happy layers merge all and flatten and resize as you like.
