step 6
Now what we want is a 1px black stroke which is “inside” make sure you check that as it is important.

step 7
Now we have a black stroke but now we want to get rid of it, yes I’m serious. What we need to do is press ctrl + t to transform the layer. Now while holding shift AND alt resize the layer so it is just outside of our canvas.

step 8
Now you get to see why the hell I did that. Double click that layer to bring up the blending options and add an outer glow. Go ahead and put in these settings.

step 9
Now we should have a nice little border. For this next part we are going to have to edit an existing custom shape. Grab one of these shapes; make sure you hit the paths button. Now make a new instance, around this size. Press ctrl + h if it disappeared on you.

step 10
Now what we have to do is grab all the inner points. To do this, firstly use either the convert point tool or something like the path selection tool either is fine. Now all we have to do is hold shift while selecting the point. If you’re lazy like me you can do these sorts of selections to grab a few points at once.
