This was a four-frame, black plastic framed unit from The Dollar Store. I used my Dremel and a 1/8" drill bit to create holes for the brads. The two smaller frames were covered with SU paper; larger frames were sanded with 80grit sandpaper then sponged with white craft ink to resemble slate. I used Perfect Paper Adhesive (usartquest.com) to adhere the paper to the plastic. The 'R' is the first letter of my DH's name.
