How to make a safety pin look like
it's sticking in paper or cloth!

• Supplies
• Paint Shop Pro
  (I used PSPX)
  
• Use any safety pin.
  
  Start out with a basic safety pin! As you
  can see it is tilted somewhat and we need to make
  it straight so we can work on it..
  
  
  
  
• Image
• Rotate until you have a horizontal pin
  like this!
  
  
  
  With your selection tool set to rectangular
  draw around a center section of the lower pin..
  staying close to the edge
  You will see the marching ants!
  
  
• Hit your delete key
  You should still have your
  marching ants around the deleted area,
  
  
• Keep selected.
  
  Now for the drop shadow!
  
  
  
  
• Effects
• 3D Effects,
• Drop Shadow
  
  Use these settings..
  
  
• Vertical 1, horizontal 1
• Opacity 34,
• Blur 8
• Color black,
  
  Make sure there is No Shadow on new layer
  
  
• Selections, Select None
• Layers, Merge visible!
• Copy and Paste to note or tag
• Rotate until you have a horizontal pin
• All layers not checked
  
  Add drop shadow, just like before!
  
  
  
  The settings are
  
  
• Vertical 1
• Horizontal 1
• Opacity 34
• Blur 8
• Color black
• No shadow on new layer
  
  And you are done
