hey,
basically, I just arranged the type in inDesign, then printed it to a good size to fit a pumpkin (may have to print a couple to get one that fits just right!)
Second, tape it down! You may need to put tape on the back of the letters as well as the sides to get it to stick right.
Third, get out a pointy object, but something thicker than a needle. The idea is to poke around the outlines of the type (or design...this is where tape on the back of the type/design comes in handy, as the paper gets soggy and the closer together the holes are, the more likely you are to rip the paper up and have pieces fall out) so that when you remove the paper, you're left with tracing lines, which you can then trace using a sharp knife. Once you're done that, chip away the pieces of type! I just carved it in about a quarter inch, so that it lit up, but wasn't cut all the way through. Remember not to cut too deep!
Good luck! I'd love to see the final result. And thanks!
