Supplies needed to complete this tutorial! 1. Snowflake and pearl tubes. Download those HERE. (Save these tubes into your psp tubes folder. Open the tube up in psp, go to file export picture tube. You will need to fill in the cells across and cells down. Name the tube the exact name as it is given. You will get a error message about overwriting the file, Click yes, otherwise you will have all the snowflake tubes as one large tube instead of several small snowflake tubes). (Note: Pearl tube needs to be open up in psp and then go to files export tube, give your tube a name and click ok). 2. HHairball tube can be found HERE. (You will need to do the same with this tube as you did with the snowflake tube). 3. My Selection files. Download HERE. (Note: If you do not have a selection folder created in psp, create one now and unzip these into the selections folder). 4. This pattern. Right click and save as bmp into your psp patterns folder.

This is what mine looks like.
