This month I’m going to show you how I made a custom banner for my son’s soccer team. I wanted to show our team pride from the sidelines, and wanted something that was durable and easy to carry from game to game. We’ve had a very wet spring this year, so paper was not an option. I opted to use Oly-Fun fabric with my Silhouette to create a sign that will last for many soccer seasons to come!
Supplies used (affiliate links included):
- Fairfield Oly Fun Multi-Purpose 20-Inch Craft Material, 3-Yard, Jet Black
- Fairfield Oly Fun Multi-Purpose 20-Inch Craft Material, 3-Yard, Lemon Drop
- Xyron 624632 Creative Station, 9″ with 5″ Option
- Silhouette CAMEO Vinyl Starter Kit Bundle with PixScan Cutting Mat, White
- Metal stakes
Step one: I cut the Lemon Drop Oly-Fun fabric into a strip. The piece is approximately one foot tall by 3 feet long.
Step two: Type the text in your Silhouette design studio software. Adjust the size so it is as large or as small as needed. Cut the text using a Silhouette fabric blade.
Step three: Use the Xyron Creative Station to add adhesive to the back of each letter. (My 4 year old wanted to help so I let him use my Xyron sticker maker, pictured above.) I used the permanent adhesive. It basically turns your work into giant stickers!
Step four: Arrange and adhere the letters on the banner. Press firmly so they adhere well.
Step five: Hot glue metal stakes to the ends of the banner.
All I have to do is roll the banner up and tuck it into my bag. It’s lightweight and easy to set up and take down anywhere I go!

I’ve never used a xyron sticker maker but now I think I need one!
It’s one of those tools that once you use it you wonder how you lived without it!
What a great idea! I know my daughter would be jealous. I’ll need to make one for her team.
This is such a great way to support your favorite team!
