Now should it look something like this.
4. Then take the Text Tool and type in something.
5. Now set your foreground color to #FF0000. Then press U and choose the tool and shape the image below shows.
6. Now when you have your Custom Shape Tool selected make a shape similar to the one below.
Then duplicate layer 2, to do that just right click on layer 2 and choose Duplicate Layer, then use the Move Tool to move it in to position. And that's it you are done! This is what I came up with.
