step 1 of 15
1.Make Black Fill Layer After BG Layer. Extract the plugs from the original picture ( I used pen tool, to extract it. You can used other tool such as applying filter extract and clean up the picture, or maybe you can used eraser tool )
step 2 of 15

5. Duplicate Plug Copy Layer, press Ctrl+T to rotate it using Free Transform Tool. Rotate Plug Copy 2 Layer 90 degree CW. After That duplicate Plug Copy 2 Layer ( it’ll automatically name Plug Copy 3 ) and rotate it Horizontal. You’ll see that the Plug Copy Layer (the first copy) is not in the right position, so you’ll have to move it till it center place.
