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!
  2. Start saving your empty glue bottles now so you can use them to mix many colors.
  3. The amount of food coloring will vary depending on how much glue is in your bottle and how dark of a color you desire.

What You Need:

  • Bottle of Glue
  • Food Coloring
