Bunney's Christmas Lights Tutorial

This tutorial was created using PSP 7 but could probably be revised for other versions of PSP. I hope you enjoy this tutorial. To get to the elf tutorial that goes with the Christmas lights click here

Thank you

 

Let's Begin

 

Open a new 200 by 200 16.7 million colors transparent image.  Your foreground (styles) color should be set on black, your background color needs to be whatever color you want for your lights. I am using #A11F1F. Using your preset shapes tool with these settings 

Draw an oblong circle on your image like this 

Using your object selector tool right click on the inside of the light and go to node edit pull the top node straight up like this

On the bottom node pull it straight up to where its almost flat at the bottom like this

Once you have your light the way you want it right click again and go to quit node editing,  then to layers convert to raster. Name this layer light.  You should have something similar to this

Using your preset shapes tool again this time with these settings 

Change your background color to black, foreground (styles) color should still be set at black. Draw a rounded rectangle at the bottom of your light like this

While using your Ctrl  key on your keyboard move your mouse over the top right nodes click on the top right node and pull toward  the left middle like this 

You can now go to layers convert to raster, You have yourself a Christmas Light. Change the colors if ya wish. Nothing fancy, But Has different uses. Then merge visible and tube them if you wish!
