Question
my husband and i are going to make the team banner for our daughters t-ball team and I was wondering if you know of any websites that will show us examples?  He is an artist by trade but any helpful hints on how to make this first team banner would be helpful. Thank You


Answer
Hi Nicole,

Thanks for writing.  I haven't had much luck searching for banner info - all that comes up is how to make banners for web sites! :-(

Your timing is good though, since I am working on a banner right now for my son's hockey team! :-) Since your husband is an artist, you will probably have a lot more luck than me! :-)

My banner is 3' x 4' felt made in the teams colors attached to a 3' dowel along the top edge.  I put the logo in the center and wroite the team name across the top.  I cut pucks out of black felt and wrote each kids name and team number on a puck using fabric paint.  I will attach the pucks onto the banner with velco so they can be changed if necessary. All this was made using felt.

Hope this helps a little!
