12. Open element 'BIBILUCKYIRISHSONG COLLAB ELEM (50)' copy and paste as new layer. Arrange to the upper part of the template. You have to duplicate to fit the entire frame. Don't worry about the middle, your tube will cover it.

14. Open element 'BIBILUCKYIRISHSONG COLLAB ELEM (27)' copy and paste as new layer. Image/Mirror. Arrange to the left.

19. For this element you only do it if you want. Open element 'BIBILUCKYIRISHSONG COLLAB ELEM (5)'copy and paste as new layer. Resize 50%. Image/Rotate/Free Rotate (right/20). Arrange to the left. Since this is a timeline, I decided to make the avatar and timeline combined with this hat. So you'll need to add the same image to your avatar (see my avatar). If you don't want, you don't need to.

20. Select the layer 'inner border' Adjust/Color Balance/Manual Color Correction (source: #808080 and target: #417618). Adjust/Add-Remove Noise/Add Noise (uniform/50/monochrome checked).
