Making Fridge Magnet Signs for Dioramas

Here's a quick detail from the "courtyard" set that I'm building. For this sign I used foam letters but they look pretty much the same as fridge magnets, I'll pick up a couple more sets of them tomorrow and make some more signs for you to see.
To build this one I took two long matchsticks and then used all purpose glue to attack the letters, once the glue was dry I based the entire thing in a black/brown mix and let that dry. After that I just put on a couple of coats of bright red acrylic and then aged it back down.
The windows are made of popsicle stick frames and coffee stirrers for the interior of the window.
just another helpful tip from yours truly,
