Several polling sites ran out of ‘I Voted’ stickers—an Election Day accessory voters look forward to sticking on after hitting the booths—hours before polls closed on Tuesday, prompting many people to create their own.

Others got creative by making their own stickers because they voted via absentee ballots. Check out their homemade stickers below.
