I made one that is good enough to look okay to the casual observer just because my original was very tired. Yours actually looks pretty good.

In my gallery (page 2) is an image of the tag and the numbers and letter grid needed to cut and paste what one needs:

This grid can be used by pasting/painting over the unneeded dots to create any letter needed:

Also there are all the numbers and the one letter I needed (an E). For example:

Choice of material will decide to how convincing and long-lasting the result is. I just used basic photo-printing from the drugstore so mine has to be replaced every year or two.
