Where can I buy very large iron-on letters? I am making a "Welcome Home" sign for my deployed fiance

Question

My fiance will be returning stateside from his tour in Iraq. Does anyone know where I can buy some extra large iron-on letters to put onto a banner? I would like the letters to be large enough to be visible from the roadside when they enter the base. Thank you!

Answer 1

If you feel confident, you could just paint the lettering on the banner. That way you could personalize it a little more, with flourishes, or what-have-you?

Another possibility is using iron-on transfer paper with your ink jet printer. If a letter as large as 8 1/2 by 11 inches is big enough, that's another way to make your letters.

Answer 2

If you don't mind perfection, I would go out and buy a roll of butcher paper which comes in 2' widths and spray paint you loving message on it.

I salute your fiance and all the others who are sacrificing their lives to spread freedom around the world.

Answer 3

I saw a whole c**p load of them at Michaels.

Answer 4

Jo Ann fabrics Super Store. You can all so make  and cut out your own letter patches if you buy some "heat n Bond" sheets at $4.00 and the material  at 60% off  or red tag sale.

This way you can make them as large as you like.
