Save yourself some money and make your own colored glue.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 15 minutes
Here's How:
  1. Get a bottle of glue.
  2. Unscrew and remove the cap.
  3. Add 5-6 drops of food coloring.
  4. Replace the cover and shake the bottle to mix.
  5. If you want a darker color, add a few more drops of food coloring and mix again.
  6. Once you get the desired color, use your glue to create fun pictures and crafts.
Tips:
  1. You do not need a full bottle of glue!
