Future Voter Button

Voting is important and many young citizens don’t take advantage of the opportunity. Do your part to educate your child. This cute button is perfect for little ones to wear when they tag along on Election Day and will help them look forward to when they’re old enough to vote.

What you’ll need

Frozen juice can lid
White acrylic paint
Paintbrush
Felt: red, white and blue
Scissors
Glitter star stickers
Pin back
White craft glue
Black marker

How to make it

Paint the juice can lid with white acrylic paint and set aside to dry. It may take two coats to get complete coverage.
Cut a scalloped (wavy) circle from red felt that is slightly larger than the juice lid.
Cut ribbon pieces (the larger piece from blue felt and the smaller piece from white felt). Glue the white piece onto the blue felt.
Glue the juice lid to the red scalloped felt. Glue the blue and white felt to the back of the red felt.
Use a black marker to write “future voter!” on the juice lid.
Decorate with star stickers.
Glue a pin back to the back of the red felt and let dry.
