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 [1] or minions [2] 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 [3] ideas.
Hillary Clinton
To re-create Hillary's on-the-phone casual look:
- Dark sunglasses [4]
- Blackberry [5]
- Brooch [6]
- Blazer [7] (or turtleneck onesie [8])
- Statement necklace
- Democrat Party donkey plush [9]
Lazy solution: A Hillary supporter onesie [10] or kid shirt [11].
Donald Trump
To get Donald's look:
- Toupee [12] (get some temporary gray hair dye spray [13] if needed)
- Suit [14]
- American flag pin [15]
- Republican Party elephant plush [16]
- That classic "You're fired" finger point (not available for purchase)
Lazy solution: A Trump supporter onesie [17] or kid shirt [18].
President Barack Obama
Get his look:
- Fake teeth (for that famous smile) [19]
- Suit [20]
- American flag pin [21]
- Democratic Party donkey plush [22]
Jeb Bush
To get his look:
- Glasses [23]

- Gray temporary hair dye spray [25] (or cut down this toupee wig [26] to dye for kiddos who aren't well-endowed in the hair department yet)
- American flag pin [27]
- Republican Party elephant plush [28]
Lazy solution: a Jeb Bush supporter onesie [29] or kid shirt [30].
Chris Christie
To get his look:
- Suit [31]
- New Jersey Strong tee [32] (to go under the blazer, of course)
- American flag pin [33]

- American flag pin [40]
- Democratic Party donkey plush [41]
Lazy solution: a Bernie Sanders supporter onesie [42] or kid shirt [43].
