We often have friends over to game with us, so we have around 5 or so PS4 controllers. Whenever you use a PS4, you have to use a controller. I saw a ton of PS4 lightbar decals online. I wanted to be able to create my own custom PS4 controller.
I looked around for a template I could use, but for the handful I found, they cost more than buying a huge sheet of premade decals. So I decided to make my own template. I took a piece of paper and traced the light bar onto it. I scanned it into my computer, and traced over it in Adobe Illustrator. I went through a little trial and error with this method, but I finally got it.
For my first decal, I wanted to try something simple. You are welcome to do this, however please be aware that images you find on Google image search are often trademarked or copyrighted. You can use them for personal use like this, but using them on products you are planning to sell is against the law. You can read more about this here. There are two methods you can use to make your decal.
One is to use a vinyl cutting machine. The other is to print out the templates and cut them out by hand. It will be easier to weed out later. Resize the text and make sure it will fit over the lightbar with room on either side. If you are using a picture instead of text, you will want to upload your picture as well. If you know anyone who plays Fortnite or Call of Duty, I have a feeling that those logos would be a good choice! If you are using Silhouette Studio or another software, you will have to find instructions if you do not know how to do this part.
The steps will likely be very similar however! I used a 12 x 12 piece of black Oracal vinyl from the Happy Crafters. After cutting, I used my weeding hook and tweezers to weed out the design. I then placed a piece of transfer tape on top of the vinyl. This part is technically optional, but for easier application I would recommend it.
Take your cotton swab and rubbing alcohol and gently clean off any smudges, fingerprints, and oils from the lightbar on the controller. You should turn the controller on at this point. Line up your transfer tape with the decal just over the lightbar. Posted March 7, Posted March 9, Sagged it too Thank you! Posted March 10, Grabbed one, thanks.
