Election Day is upon us.\u00a0 Opinions are vast, tensions are building, and patriots are more passionate than ever.\u00a0<\/h2>

Do you need something to help lighten the mood? \u00a0I know I do, and FBL\u00a0Political Party Favors<\/a>\u00a0are just the thing, young Americans. \u00a0Because life\u2019s too fun to take it all\u00a0too<\/em>\u00a0seriously. \u00a0So when the news gets my head in a tizzy, and the ads keep pushin\u2019 props, I can just flip a switch, sit back and relax wearin\u2019 my red white & blue light up Political Party Favors.<\/p>

But in all seriousness, regardless of who you vote for on Election Day, and no matter which\u00a0Political Party Favors\u00a0you sport to show your pride, what\u2019s important here is that we all take the time to vote. \u00a0Let\u2019s do our homework, read up on important matters and visit a polling place, or send in that absentee ballot (note to self for next year). \u00a0Check out this DIY sign I made using our red white & blue light pins and\u00a0Political Party Favors. \u00a0So festive, and talk about spreadin\u2019 the word!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

You BET I\u2019ll take that sign out with me on Election Day. \u00a0Imagine the possibilities if you used this idea to create a political message sign. \u00a0NO ONE would miss the point you\u2019re trying to get across. \u00a0Not one person. \u00a0Check out these lights in action.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

How I did it? \u00a0So easy:<\/h2>
  1. I got a styrofoam rectangle from my local craft store.\u00a0 Use any material board you wish\u2026<\/li>
  2. I painted its surface with glue, then sprinkled glitter.<\/li>
  3. I hot glued Mardi Gras beads around the edges for a little extra bling (optional).<\/li>
  4. Buy a few bags of\u00a0Red White & Blue LEDs for Arts & Crafts<\/a>, and glue \u2019em to the board. \u00a0Spell out anything you wish!\u00a0 We have so many color options for these crafty blinkies (some slow change and some steady\/no flash, so check that out.<\/li><\/ol>

    Happy voting, America. \u00a0Keep on craftin\u2019 in the free world.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
