Depends on ow big you need the letters, one source is "nail art decals" as in fingernails, they do really nice (smallish) letters in lots of colours.
How do I know ........my granddaughters use them and I pinch them..

That's a great idea Phil! There's another example of group brain storming for you.


There are also letters etc in etched brass from Armati and Scalelink (Now Fret set or some similar name.)
