Create a new layer named Decoration
Click on text tool and get the decoration you want. I am using letter G from a font called Deco Borders.
While your text decoration is still selected, go to Image --> Other --> Emboss. Deselect your font.
In your layer pallette, change the layer property to Difference and adjust to your satisfaction. I used a setting of 45 for mine.

To put a background color behind your shelf, use layer 1.

That's it, you are now the proud owner of a shelf! Now decorate your shelf using whatever you like!

Here is what I made using this shelf :)
