Step-by-Step Instructions:

Cut Out the Basketball Shape
Start by tracing a large circle onto the RevolutionPly® panel. Using a jigsaw, carefully cut out the shape to create the basketball.
Smooth the Edges
Lightly sand the edges of the cutout to remove any rough spots and ensure a clean finish.
Paint the Basketball
Apply a few coats of paint to the primed side of the panel, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
Add the Basketball Lines
Once the paint is dry, use a permanent marker to carefully draw the classic basketball lines onto the surface.
Customize with Team Logos
Using Mod Podge, affix your chosen team’s logo (or multiple logos for ACC fans) to the basketball cutout. Allow it to dry thoroughly.
Seal and Protect
To ensure durability, spray the sign with a weather protectant or sealant, making it resistant to outdoor elements.
