1. Open Photoshop, click File > New, give a name and dimensions to your new image and choose white as a background contents then press Ok.
2. Choose "Custom Shape Tool (U)", select any desired shape from the tool bar located at the top of Photoshop and make sure that you choose a shape that is not complicated to get better results for example, a circle or a heart shape.
3. Draw your shape with the desired size.

5. Choose Paths palette, if is not visible, Click Window > Paths and click "Make work path from selection" located at the bottom of the Paths palette.
6. Select the "Horizontal Type Tool (T)", if you want to type a text that forms your shape (the borders), click where you want your text to start at the border of the shape not inside it -notice that the mouse cursor changes like the next image- and start typing your text.

7. Now whatever you type will follow the border of the shape you have chosen, you can make very good and professional text effects this way. I typed dashes at the top so the text is not upside down.
