Here is one way

another way is to pour a bit of plaster into a bit of kitchen foil that has been folded into a pan. Once hard you break it up into rubble.

Use white glue to fix to the base, then paint.

Amongst the busted up plaster previously mentioned I also use kitty litter. (preferably new not used)

try a piece of something broken from the period of the vignette- a broken clock or dicarded pram or doll -helps personalise the piece and tells more of the story
just a thought
