Now time to add a couple screws.

Make a new layer and click on your elliptical marquee tool and draw as good of a circle as you can and fill it with any color (we are going to ad a gradient so it doesn’t matter).

Here is what mine looks like:

Now we are going to use some blend options yet again…

Gradient these settings:

Stroke these settings:

For the lines on the screw we just need to use the rectangular marquee tool. In a new layer choose the rectangular marquee and draw a line over the screw like this:

Just pick a darker gray color and fill it. After that use ctrl+t on the new layer and hold control so you can rotate the line to make it look more realistic… My result looks like this:

Just duplicate your layers for your screw so you can put one on the other side of the button. Also you can rotate the line again so they don’t look exactly the same…. My final result:

For added effect I am going to put text on the button and I am just going to write “button”.

I picked a text called zurich cnbt but you can pick whatever you have or just like.

After writing the text on the button in a new layer I am going to choose more blend settings.

Inner glow:

Bevel emboss:

Color Overlay:

Just set to black and 100%.

Stroke:

After that your final result should look like your text is chiseled into the button.
