This effect I used in the layout for a website long ago, and now I'm showing you how to do as I did. With this technique you can create your own set of chains and make them twist or turn any way possible!

Keep the Chains
Learn how to create a set of Chains!

Step 1 First, use the Rounded Retangle-Tool to draw a shape like mine below;

-
Step 3 Add these layer-styles to the objects;

Step 4 Now create a layer under one of the layers and merge one of them with that empty layer and do the same with the other.

Then just duplicate them and rotate them;

Step 5 After a while you got something like this below:

Yo
Good tutorial but you are missing an integral part of it!
How are we meant to get the finished product without knowing the texture/contour settings?
Maybe your cheese slipped off your biscuit?
