Cheap, easy signs to add to your layout

Having some billboard type signs may not work for everyones type of layout, but for many of us this type
of thing adds to the 'ambiance' for both racing and photo taking.. Here's an idea for quick and easy signs..
Supports are just 2 popsicle sticks glued together with wood glue.. Do it on plastic to keep them from sticking.
The signs themselves are just logos printed from the internet and mounted on cardboard using stickey tape.
I paste the logos in to a Word doc so I can resize them to 4.5 to 6.5 wide or so depending on shape of sign.
I put 3 or 4 on each page then cut them out after printing.. I use a heavy card stock, not copy paper.
Then just glue the popsicle stick posts to the center of the rear side of the signs and you are ready to mount them.
If you have some sort of retaining wall, you can just glue them to the backside of that wall.
They look pretty good when you get a bunch placed around..again, may not fit everyones taste, but I like them.
