Paint ball
player with a custom blue uniform.
Creating a custom paint ball jersey will surely make you and your team stand out from the competition. Custom uniforms can be created by adding a number of different effects, such as team names imprinted in silkscreen lettering to adding colorful patches. The first thing that must be done is to actually pick the uniform color and type, such as long-sleeve jersey, short-sleeve jersey or full-body jersey. Once the type of uniform is selected, begin the customization.
Instructions
Custom Names
1. Purchase silkscreen letters that can be screened onto a jersey using an iron. These letters come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors in craft stores and online paint ball specialty sites.
2. Plug in the iron, heating it up on low power. If the iron is digital, place the heat setting on "Acrylics."
3. Lay the jersey down on the ironing board with the side having the letters put on it facing upward.
4. Set each letter in place on at a time. Place the letters evenly apart from one another by measuring the spaces with the ruler.
5. Press down the iron firmly on each letter for about three to five seconds. Do this periodically until the letters have "glued" down onto the jersey.
Patches
6. Purchase either silkscreen or embroidered patches from a craft store or online specialty store. The patches can be team logos, nationality flags or other names.
7. Place the patch evenly in the center of sleeves or any other location on the jersey. Use the ruler as guidance for even spacing.
8. Press the iron firmly down on the patch if the patch is made of silkscreen material. Thread a string and needle along the outer edges of the patch if the patch is made of embroidered material. Thread the entire perimeter of the patch through the patch and jersey until the patch is snug in place. Cut the remainder of the thread attached to the needle using a scissor.
