Set these settings in the top toolbar.

Change the 75px to the width you want your sidebars.

Press Ctrl + J to duplicate the selection in to a new layer.

Press Ctrl + T to transform the new layer.

Pull the top up. You should get something like this:

Press Ctrl + A to select the whole canvas then press Ctrl + C

Open up your template or create a new template.
