Random Thoughts (Letter Blocks and Things)

So I'm sitting here at 2:06am; clearly not sleeping, and I have a thought. We need some letter blocks in cc. So here is my idea...
Using paper and the Cut O'Matic we can be given the option to make a letter stencil. Given that there are restrictions on how many pixel or sculpty blocks you can make at a set time; I feel like the same thing should be applied to the paper. Making the recipe 10 paper (obviously you would then have to choose a letter stencil, i.e A, B, C..) to give you 10 stencils of the selected letter. Crafting time could be 10 or 20 mins. That would be the first step to making your letter blocks...
Step number 2 would include placing any color plaster block that you would want as a background color, whatever color dye you want for your letter, and your stencils in the crafting bench. Taking into account how many sides blocks have and that you would need a letter on each side to be able to place your letter blocks at whatever angle suits you; the recipe would end up looking like this
1 plaster block + 6 stencils + 6 dyes = 1 letter block
Now I'm satisfied with that recipe as is. However there is something that could be changed. Instead of dye...why not include paint into the game.
To make paint we would need a new type of equipment to start the process off. Dehumidifier. First you will need flowers and or berries for making pigments. To do this you will place your flowers and berries in the dehumidifier and then wait 1-2 days before your Dehumidifier spits out some dried flowers and berries. From there you would take your mortar and pestle in the crafting bench to make colored pigments depending on the color of the dried items. Then; still using the mortar and pestle, you would take your pigments, pine resin, and solvent to create paint.
If we include paint we would then need to make a paint brush that could be made with hair dropped from a horse, (nudge nudge) then crafted with glue and sticks.
Anyway those are just some random late night thoughts :) I hope you guys enjoy.

and for the letter blocks....I'm not really sure... The recipe seems a bit complicated to get a letter block.. one might use them in cool ways e.g. school parkour or letters parkour or whatever else. I like the general idea, but as I already said, the recipe seems to use up a lot of resources for a single letter block. I mean, if I calculated this right: we'd need 10 tree trunks, a berry or two of the selected colour, 2 stones and a sand block. and to make let's say 10 of them we'd need 100 tree trunks( :/ ), around 10 berries etc. Also a potential problem would be that we wouldn't want letter blocks of the same letter, but more of them( such as A,B,C,D,E,F,...). I mean, it wouldn't be too much resources, but would use up a certain amount of your storage to create them.
Overall, +1
I do appreciate your opinion and I hope this makes enough sense :)
I made this quick example, if I had Christmas lights I would have included those along the top and bottom to make a more decorated sign but this is the quickest visual example I could provide.
What about something like this.
