Tutorial: Screws

Make some screws to hold your page together :)
STEP ONE

Start by adding a new layer () and with the elliptical marquee () hold SHIFT and drag a selection.
STEP TWO


Choose a light grey for the foreground and a darker grey for the background colors. Select the Radial Gradient () and click and drag as shown to the left. You should have a gradient similar to bottom image.
STEP THREE


Select the polygonal lasso tool () and while holding ALT take away the majority of the circlular marquee by following the 2 sequences to the left - click and start the process at the x and click at the end of each arrow (The last click of each is on the original 'x' to close the 'path'. Should be left with similar to the bottom image.
STEP FOUR

Grab the radial gradient () and swap your grey foreground/background colors by pressing 'X'. Click near the left of the selection and drag diagonally down and to the right to create another gradient.
STEP FIVE

Press CTRL + D to kill the selection marquee. You can leave it like this or if you want a little more 'depth', go on to step six.
STEP SIX

Select LAYERS > EFFECTS > BEVEL AND EMBOSS and make the desired settings. Mine was basically the default settings. All you need to do now is resize to your liking and maybe rotate.
