Using the tube or tubes of choice and copy and paste as a new layer a close up of your tube into each square inverting and deleting after each (re-invert between each placement).

Select none. Duplicate each close up, and on each use a Gaussian blur of 2 then change the properties to overlay.

Choose a ribbon from your kit and place beneath the film strip layer and position as desired add the drop shadow, then duplicate.

Move the duplicate layer above your film strip layer and use your erase tool to "wrap: the ribbon around the strip.
