your Paint Shop Pro open

Anti-Alias Checked

triangle layer
7.
Click on the Pen Tool and those cute little nodes show up :-)
8.
With your cursor, right click one of the nodes on the widest
side
Node Type/Symmetric
9.
Do this to the other node on the top, and this is what you have.
You can do this to the third one, but it will be covered up
anyway
10.
Layers/Convert to Raster Layer
11.
I like to put stitches on mine. This is what I used
Pen Tool set to Point to Point, Line Style Small Dash, Line
Width 3.00,
material set to Foreground dark color
then click on the piece until you have the stitching all around
it.
I like the Point to Point because it gives a realistic uneven
stitch
12.
Highlight the top layer, Layers/Merge/Merge Down
13.
Mover Tool and move to up to give you room for the ribbons
14.
Layers/Duplicate, Image Mirror and move together a bit
15.
Preset Tool set on Triangle,
Materials set to Foreground null, Background to fill or color
16.
Draw out another triangle like before
I turned mine to the right a little bit
17.
Click on the Pen Tool and the nodes appear again
18.
Right Click on a node at the bottom, Node Type, Symmetric
I added another one on the left side and pushed it in just a bit
to give it some
character and shaped it just a bit.
19.
When your happy with the placement, Layers/Convert to Raster
Layer
Add the
stitching again if you were doing that before.
20.
Layers/Merge/Merge Down
21.
Layers/Duplicate, Image/Mirror and place to your liking
22.
Layers/Merge/Merge Visible
This is
what I have so far
I'm
going to add a preset button to mine. You may use the Ellipse
and make the center. or a button, or a pearl, or a flower...
endless possibilities!
Once
you've have you're center made, you're done!
Thanks
