1
Create a new document
Create some text. (I used Planet Kosmos at 50 points)
Ctrl/Cmd+Click on the texts' layer thumbnail to load the selection
Select>Modify>Expand
Enter 5 pixels and click ok
2
The selection should now look like this
3
With the selection still active create a new layer and name it beads
4
Go to the Paths Palette
Click the top right arrow and choose "Make Work Path" from the fly out menu
Enter a setting of 0.5 (The minimum allowed)
Click ok
We have now made a path out of the selection
5
Choose White as your foreground color
Select the Brush tool from the Toolbox
Open the brushes palette
Turn off all the boxes on the left
Choose a 10 Pixel hard brush
Set the spacing to 105% (This will make a dotted line)
6
The path will now be stroked with white dots.
Click in the blank area of the paths palette (Below the work path) to turn off the path
7
Go back to the layers palette
You should now have something like this
8
Click the little "f" at the bottom of the layers palette to add a layer style
Choose bevel and emboss and use the settings shown
9
Choose inner shadow and use the shown settings
Click Ok to apply the style.
10
At this point we have a problem. The text is a bit small for the beads (There is a gap showing)
Increase the size of the text to compensate, the edge of the text should line up with the beads
11
Add a layer style to the text. Apply a default drop shadow and a Bevel as shown
12
In this variation, I repeated the step and expanded by 10 pixels to create a second ring of beads. I also enhanced it a bit with some sparkles.
