Step 1:  Fold your red (8×11) paper into fourths and cut along these folds.  This will create the base for your etch-a-sketch.

Step 2:  Cut your white paper into 2.75″ x 4.5″ rectangles* These rectangles will be the screen where the names could go

Step 3:  Cut out 2 knobs for each etch-a-sketch.  I used circles with a .75″ diameter.*
