Create Your Own Christmas Balls
Here I’ll show you how to make funny colorful Christmas balls using Photoshop techniques.

First of all, you should create a new document about 500×500 pixels and fill it with white color. After that select the Elliptical Marquee Tool to create selection as on my picture below. Fill selected area with color of #580001 on the new layer.photoshop updates

Ok, use the Polygonal Lasso Tool to create another one selection and fill it with the same color.

Remove selection with Ctrl+D. Now, time to bring some ornament to the ball. I used this ornament or you can use another one which you want. Open up this file and copy ornament to the main canvas. After that apply the Color Overlay layer style to the layer with ornament.photoshop updates
