This
tutorial is meant purely as a guide. Feel free to use your own choice
of tube and scrap kit to make your tag unique. If you want your tag
to look just like mine then use the same supplies I have used. This
tutorial assumes you have a knowledge of paint shop pro. Any
resemblance to any other tag or tutorial is purely coincidental.
