I've never attempted something with individual (i.e. not connected) letters . Is there a process or just cut 'em out and glue them down so they look right?

I cut them out of those little pieces of scrap we dont know what to do with but dont want to throw away.  Then I glue them on. No special trick to it.  I use a #73 drill bit and a 2/0 jewelers blade. 

The blades dont have reverse teeth but have a ton of regular teeth so you can get really nice intricate cuts.  The down side is the back side will be really ragged. 

To prevent this, I have learned to tape 2 pieces of 1/8" bb together on top of one another.  Cuts will pretty much the same ease and the backside wont be ragged.
