Then you sketch a rectangle that surrounds each letter that has been cut out of the dual layered curved background body and then extrude the rectangle through the curved background body cutouts of the text in the mode as a new body or new component. You create your text and position it in front of the curved background body and then activate the 'extrude' feature and choose the cut mode and extrude cut it into the curved background body preferably one letter at a time. It's probably something really stupid i'm missing but I would be very grateful if you could help.You could create a temporary set of curved background bodies that curve in the manner you require. The body is a cube that I have used a subdivision modifier on and adjusted (It is not a sphere) and I made the arm by creating a curve, setting the spline type to poly and manually placing each point to form the shape, then converting it too a mesh and filled in the face. In case it's not clear what i'm trying to do here how it is now from a top view: I've also tried creating a uv sphere (thinking it might be the fact that the body is actually a cube would effect it) and trying the shrink wrap modifier for that but it still has the same effect.

I've tried using the simple deform modifier on the arm and selecting curve and curving it however, this just sort of twists it in a weird way. I've tried making a curve and manually created points following the curve of the body and using the curve modifier on the arm and setting it to the curve. I've tried using the shrink wrap modifier but that just makes the hand go deformed and when I get it in the right position it doesn't follow the curve of the body anyway. So I need it to be curved to the same curve of the body where it joins on.

However, the red arm is a flat plane so when i try to attach it onto the body some of the arm either goes into the body or is too far from it: I'm fairly new to Blender and I'm trying to make a teddy model and I want to wrap the arms around the body (Like how when you drop cloth on a ball, it forms to the shape of the ball where it lands)
