1. First off, make a new Document. I’m going to make mine 200x200 so you can see the screw :P

2. Using the elliptical marquee tool, make a selection, and fill it with black.

4. Now load those brushes into photoshop, that you downloaded earlier.

5. Create a new layer (Layer > New Layer). “Ctrl+Click” the layer with the screw on it (This should make a selection around the screw) Now on the new layer, start using the grunge brushes that you downloaded. It’s smart to use something dark for it. I used Black.

Be Sure to switch off between brushes, one of the packs has some cracked brushes in it, those work well. Just brush until you have something that looks kinda rusty. Heres mine:

6. Now Using the line tool (with whatever size that fits your screw best, I’m using 5 pixel radius) Draw one line, from the top right corner, to the bottom left corner (as shown in the picture)

I used color: #484848

7. Now right next to it, draw another line, except this time use Black.

This is what it might look like in a sig.

Side Note: Remember guys, those settings were for my size screw which was 200x200, you will most likely have to knock the shadow sizes down, as well as some of the other effects, in order for it to look better smaller.

Perhaps, just saying, maybe make the grunge brown because rust is a light brown o.o
