Craft the Vote: Politically Themed Crafts
Jessica Vitkus, the author of Alternacrafts challenges all of the presidential nominees to win the crafter's vote with politically themed crafting projects. She has created two categories of appropriate craft for each party: DemoCrafts and RepubliCrafts, which include many samples of projects that the nominees could create.
For instance, with the "RepubliCraft No. 1: Department of Homeland Security Blanket", Vitkus writes: "Endorsed by the White House and Fox News, this colorful scrap quilt is a guide to our ever-changing security alert levels. Each level is labeled with embroidery to distinguish a DHS Blanket from a gay-pride flag. (Note: Blanket is not a safety device. In case of a terrorist attack, DHS Blanket will not protect you.)"
