Right click on the title bar of the "Bell pull" image and
select PASTE AS NEW SELECTION

Position the tube at the top of the Bell Pull shape




Do the same with the "Pull1" tube

as shown below




Now we need to ERASE the section circled in
the image above

Select your ERASE tool

erase the section indicated above
so as to make it look like the links are joined.




Go to your LAYER PALETTE
Close the MERGED Layer
and Layer1 (If it's not already closed)




Go to LAYERS >>> Merge >>> Merge visible


At this point I would save my BELL PULL as a .psp (Tube) image
So that the inner (red ) section (Merged Layer) can be replaced
at any time with a different Pattern

of the Bell Pull,
some hints on how to save it
AND
some Christmas Backgrounds that you
can save to your own computer *S*
