With next year's election coming up fast, politicians are the talk of the town — but it doesn't all have to be so serious! If you've got your 2016 candidate on lock and can't think of how to dress your child who doesn't have a tendency toward tutus or minions yet (or is too young to have an opinion — parent win), why not dress them up as Hillary or the Donald?
Get ready to turn your kiddo into a presidential candidate in no time with these DIY ideas.
