Using envelopes
Envelopes are objects that distort or reshape selected objects. You can make an envelope out of objects on your artboard, or you can use a preset warp shape or a mesh object as an envelope. You can use envelopes on all artwork except linked objects (with the exception of TIFF, GIF, and JPEG), graphs, or guides. You can use envelopes with paths, compound paths, text objects, meshes, blends, and raster images.

Once you apply an envelope, you can continue to edit the original objects. At any time you can also edit, delete, or expand an envelope.
