Open up a new canvas

Add the tube to your canvas

Position to your liking and add a drop shadow (this is your top layer for now)

Duplicate and flip horizontal

Adjust and resize to your liking, delete any parts outside the frame. (this layer is between your frame and the background layer)

On both layers use the following:

Filter → Xero → Porcelain

All a default, except blue cannel to 0

Image → Adjustments → Variations

I clicked lighter a couple of times along with more blue once

On the one inside the frame, change the blend mode to Luminosity, the opacity to 50%

Now just embellish to your liking with drop shadow of choice.

I used the following in the order from the bottom up, with a drop shadow unless specified.
