@paul goodness posted:Office supply or craft stores like Michaels sell sheets of letters that are stickers, and they also sell rub on transfer letters. There is a very wide variety available. If you need 3D letters, refrigerator magnets are available. Any printed advertising packaging can be used. There are lettering stencils in many sizes that you use a pencil to spell out the words and then use sharpie markers in any color to finish the sign. I think you can try any of these methods if you want to get away from using a computer and printer.

I recently bought a Cricut Maker 3 for my business. Among other things I can cut out text on any color adhesive vinyl. I cut cut out the whole line of text as one unit or individually and apply to a structure. Vinyl lettering is a great way to go in lieu of decals since there are no decal lines to contend with.
The lettering on the conveyor house is vinyl versus a decal on the shed. You can see the decal line on it versus no lines with the vinyl. There are methods to make the decal lines disappear but I have never mastered them.
This is an example of placing the letters one at a time which is basically the same as Paul describes
