How do you make Rope or Cording in PS CS5

[KFM]

I was wondering if anyone has done a tutorial on how to make Rope or Cording in Digital Scrapper?
I have Linda's PSE tutorial 58-02 "Wrapped In Twine" and have not been able to set my Filter>Render>Fibers adjustments so it looks like rope. I wanted one color to be a Chrismas Red and the other color to be a Christmas Green. I don't want the Fibers on the Rope or Cording.

I have a file of what I want it to look like from - Christina Wall from her Nov 2007 - It's Beginning To Look Like Christmas kit but I want to learn how to make my own Rope or Cording. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I would put a copy of the rope in here but I do not know how.

I would just take Christina's rope and recolor it. Would that work for you?

Nann, thank you for attempting to help me with this. I dont't think so since it has two colors on it and it is a png file. I believe I could desaturate it but then only fill the the layer with one color.
I am wanting to learn how to make rope or cording to go around my 2012 Christmas crafts on cards and name tags. I was wanting to be able to use two of the colors from my card or tag in the rope or cording.
Basically I want to make a template that I will be able to choose my own colors for the rope or cording.

Hi Kay, if you'll email me an image of what you want to create, I'll see what I can do to help!

Here you can download some free brushes for ropes and chains. You might want to check it out and see if one of brushes would work for you.

Beverly,
Thank you so much for attempting to help me with this. I had found the top tutorial and made some rope with it but I am still having trouble making it look round enough. Hopefully the other two tutorials will help.

Jan, did you get my email with the png file of the kind of rope/cording I am attemping to make?
