For this tutorial you will need:
A tube and font of your choice
Two Gradients to compliment the tube
In the Materials Palette set Foreground to first gradient, Angle 45, Repeats 1, Invert not checked
Set Background to second Gradient, Angle 45, Repeats 1, Invert not checked
Each time a gradient is used apply 4% Uniform Noise to that layer
Open a transparent image 400 x 400
Flood fill with Foreground gradient and rename this layer Gradient
Go to Adjust, Add/Remove noise, Add Noise with these settings Uniform, checked, 4%
Add a new layer and name it Lace
Flood fill with background gradient
Add noise, same settings as before
Choose Effects, Distortion Effects, Displacement Map with these settings:
Pattern Mosaic Weave, Stretch to fit image checked, Blur value 0, 3D Surface checked, Intensity 65, Rotation 80, Transparent checked
Go to Image, Resize and resize Lace layer only - 85%, using Bicubic Resampling
Go to Effects,3D Effects, Drop Shadow with these settings:
Vertical and Horizontal value 1, Opacity 50, Blur 10, Use a medium to dark colour from tube
On the Layer Palette, change the layer Blend mode to Luminance (Legacy)
Copy and Paste your tube as a New Layer and rename this layer Tube
Using the mover tool, position the tube at the center bottom of the lace
Apply same drop shadow, same colour
Choose Preset Shapes - Rectangle - Vector and Anti alias checked. Line width 2
Use the two gradients as foreground and background colours
(I switched the gradients and made the one I used as foreground earlier the background and the background to the foreground)
Depending on where you placed your tube, draw a rectangle either across the top or down the side (see image examples)
For top placement on the Main Menu Bar choose Objects - Align - Horizontal Center in canvas
For side placement on the Main Menu Bar choose Objects - Align - Vertical Center
Convert to Raster layer and add noise, same settings as earlier
Rename this layer Rectangle
Choose a nice font and set your values as follows:
Vector and anti alias checked Line width 1
Set the Foreground to a Gold gradient and the Background to Null
Type in your text and hit ok
Pull the edges to stretch the text to fit your rectangle
Go to Objects, Align, Horizontal Center on Canvas
When satisfied with placement convert this to a Raster layer
Go to Effects, 3D Effects, Drop shadow, use the following settings:
Vertical and Horizontal 1, Opacity 100, Blur 2, same colour as before
Go to Adjust, Sharpness, Unsharp Mask with these settings:
Radius 3, Strength 75, Clipping 1
Go to Layers, Merge visible
Choose Selections, Select All, Selections, Modify, Contract and enter 30
Go to Selections, Invert selection
Choose Effects, Distortion Effects, Curlicues with these settings:
Symmetric=7, Radius=100, Strength=50, Clockwise checked
Then go to Selections, Select none
Once again Selections, Select all, Selections, Modify, Contract by 10 this time
Then Selections,Invert selection
Go to Effects,3D effects,Inner Bevel with the following values:
Bevel #2, Width 31, Smoothness=45, Depth=4, Ambience=8, Shininess=0, Colour White, Angle 315, Intensity 40, Elevation 32
Selections - Select None
Go to Layers, Merge All(flatten)

Resize using Bicubic Resampling
