Default Field numbers

I was reading through Pit Couture's post "How to Build a Board" and I tried out his idea for numbers on the field. He said he used Microsoft Word so I open that up. Then I found his font that he was using, "Bria" and I printed off some numbers (10, 20, ect.) He said he used an exacto knife to cut his numbers out so I cut out a G for goal. Right away the paper ripped on me so I tried cutting out the 0 in 20 and it took me about 30 minutes so the paper wouldn't rip. When I got done I noticed that the number didn't have all the quality I wanted. Does anyone have a faster, and neater way than this without having to print out decals. All answers appreciated.
Thanks, Taylor

Default Not easy

What type of paper did you use ? I used self adhesive avery paper. The exacto has to be really sharp and I use a cutting board. I also use a ruler to make sure my lines are straight. The first time is difficult. With experience, you can cut all numbers in a couple of hours or less. It work for me but I took me time to do a good job.

Default Vinyl

I know that self adhesive vinyl is use to make the gridiron. With the help of a drawing software you can draw the field you want with numbers, logo, colors and the size you want it. Once this is done you have it print on self adhesive vinyl. you can find sheets of that product in art store.

A good print shop will have the right printer to print your field.
