If you’d still like to wear and share some Vote Kindly buttons this Election Day, here’s an easy way to make your own. Just download this free VoteKindly.org button PDF file and print some up on your color printer. The file should open up in Adobe Reader when you double click on it. Then just choose File and Print. (If you don’t have a color printer, black and white will work too. See ideas below about adding your own color.)
You can trim the buttons with scissors then pin them to your clothes, or even use some double-sided tape if you have it. Perhaps you have some of those nifty scissors that make decorative cuts—if so, feel free to add some pizzazz to your creations. If you’re the crafty type and want to make more realistic buttons, go ahead and glue the printed sheets to a lightweight cardboard backing before you cut them out.
How about getting your kids to help? Maybe they’d like to add some more color or personal touches to your buttons. They might even want to create some of their own designs. Included in the PDF are 4 sheets of designs: two different logo versions in color, plus the same designs in gray tones for easy coloring in, either with crayons or felt-tipped pens. Express yourself and the passion you feel for voting with care and compassion for your fellow voters.
Make it a fun family project with a built-in civics lesson as a bonus. We’d love to see and share pictures of you wearing your button to include on this blog. Send your pictures to: votekindly at gmail.com. Do whatever you can to inspire others and spread the message of voting kindly on this historic occasion.
