This tutorial is for Photoshop, to learn how to make these colourful metal clips. I've included the metal clips in the zip, the tutorial will teach you how to manipulate them to look bright and metallic looking, with stripes, polka dots, diagonal stripes ect.....  There are 3 different types of clips; regular paper clips, a fatter looking paper clip and a pointed end clip like in the preview picture. Each one comes in a variety of sizes, from full size all the way down to tagger size, and in png format.  There is a total of 17 clips in the zip and the tutorial comes in Word and PDF format.

The screenshots are from PS CS3, but can be easily done in CS2 and although I don't know what CS4's interface looks like, I'm sure it isn't much different than CS2 or CS3.  What you make from this tutorial is yours for PU or CU.
