One really cool way to add some real world looks to some of your Photoshop pieces to to actually create something from the real world. Here in this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to make a piece of clear tape.
Make sure this new layer is beneath the tape layer. Select the tape layer again and change its Blending Mode to Multiply. You may want to rotate the layers too, with Edit > Transform > Rotate. Add some text to the paper and you'll have something like this: You can adjust the opacity of your tape layers if you think they aren't transparent enough. Once again use the burn tool to vary the looks of each piece of tape. So the goal here is to put a realistic strip of tape across the corner of the image. We will start off by creating a new layer and naming it tape. Now, with the Polygonal Lasso tool (press L), draw rectangular strip over the corner of the image. Set your foreground color to some shade of gray (I used #999797) and fill your selection (press Alt + Backspace). Drop the opacity of the layer down a tad (I dropped mine down to 40%) and you should have something similar to the following: In this short Photoshop tutorial we'll be creating our own cool scotch tape, so you can stick things to stuff� and the like. Stuff like this is also useful for grunge-style website designs. and select the angel and setting that you prefer. Now we should have a nice folded paper with a slight shadow. 2. Then take the Rectangular Marquee Tool and draw out the size you want on your tape, then head over to the palette and chose the Channels tab and then create a new channel and fill it with white and deselect Ctrl+D. Now let's add a finishing touch by adding some text. Create a text layer and change the Blending Mode to Overlay. Then select all three layers in the Layers panel by Shift-clicking, then goto Edit > Transform > Rotate. You can also add a background of your choice, and add a Drop Shadow to the tape layer with an Opacity of around 35%, and Distance and Size of 1:
