All the balls are already made:

Take now the Line Tool (U) and represent the toys’ threads:

Select the Rectangle Tool (U) and stretch out the figure on the whole canvas. Fill 0% on the layer on the layers’ panel and set the next demonstrated Blending Options:

The new layer we’ve got must be situated under the layers containing the balls and the threads:

Now let’s decorate the balls. Select again the Custom Shape Tool (U) and choose on the top panel the star and the snowflake figures:


Select for the beginning the snowflake and represent a kind of decoration like the next one. Its color’s code is #5E0B61. Mark out all the layers with the snowflakes applying the (Ctrl+Left Click) on the layers’ palette. Then press Ctrl+E for the layers to be put into a single one. Erase the elements coming outside the ball’s edges, applying the Eraser Tool (E).

Next, let’s place the stars on the picture:

Put together all the layers containing the stars as we did with the snowflakes’ layers. Set the next gradient’s parameters:


The unnecessary elements should be erased. You should get the next picture on this stage:

Now let’s make several lines we as we did with the wallpapers. The color’s code is #0B296F. Put together all the layers, applying the next transformation (Ctrl+T). Click on the right mouse’s buttons, choosing the Warp option. Fill 40% on the layers and select Blending mode-Linear Light

Hello!
I’m trying to make the circles look like the ones you’ve made but mine seem to look all flat and the dark shadow on your circles are on one side but mine is all over. And I’ve followed the steps three times now! Nothing happens….

I didn’t make this tutorial, but I think i can help you. It sounds like your drop shadows are at different angles. The easiest way to fix this is to pick the ornament you like best and duplicate that layer so that you have three ornaments that look exactly the same. You can change the color by going into Blending Options>Gradient Overlay. Change nothing but the color and all of your ornaments should be the same.
