- 1). Write your text on a blank sheet of white paper using a thick marker.
- 2). Trace around the outsides of all your letters until they start to balloon out and start touching each other. You will now have a nice thick set of text. This will be your master guide. You can now replicate this text to near perfection using a sheet of carbon paper.
- 3). Tape down a blank piece of paper to a table.
- 4). Set your text paper on top of it, being sure to sandwich your carbon paper in between the two sheets.
- 5). Trace around the text, pressing the carbon onto the blank sheet of paper underneath.
- 6). After making a duplication, you can now offset the top piece of paper as you see fit.
- 7). Trace the text again and you will now have two copies of your text almost directly on top of each other.
- 8). Erase the carbon from the inside of the text you would like to use as your primary and fill in the secondary text that will become your shadow.
- 9). You have now created 3D text and should be able to understand how it works. Have fun learning new methods and being able to move away from the carbon paper.
