Etch-A-Sketch Chalkboard - Painted frame..... Once the red paint was dry, I printed out the Etch-A-Sketch logo, layered a piece of newspaper underneath it, and traced it onto the frame where I wanted the logo to go. By doing this, the newspaper leaves a faint outline on the frame (a trick I learned from Pinterest!). I then filled in the traced logo with a gold paint marker.
