First you need regular school glue and a marker
Then pry off the end of the marker using your scissors
Pull out the marker fiber inside. I sniped the plastic wrapping a few times to help the process along.
Insert maker tube into glue container
Wait a little while and then shake, shake, shake.
Voila purple glue.
***My daughter tried making some more this morning and they didn't turn out as vibrant, We realized for the purple (above) we used crayola non washable markers. I think it made a difference. For the washable marker kind we ended up adding two marker innards. We really sniped the marker tube up to let the fiber hang out (it's where all the juice is).

I've never seen that before! Thanks for sharing it. My daughter will love this.
No Way! This is SO smart! Did you figure this out on your own?
I can't remember who came up with it but I do remember every desk in 4th grade having a diffrent color glue on it. The boys all had brown because they put too many in their glue. It was fun.
That is so much fun! Thanks for sharing.
We used to put parts of our watercolor paints (Prang, of course) into our glue to make it colored when I was in elementary school.
I love this idea. I showed it to my glue-loving daughter this morning, and she now has three different bottles of glue colors brewing. Thanks for sharing this!
I used to make designs on top of my pencil box with the glue and then peel it off..I never did colored glue..that is COOL!
How clever! I remember 'drawing' in glue with dried out markers as a kid to make colored glue, but to make a whole bottle...heaven! Thanks for the great idea!
So cute & so fun!!!
easy and AWESOME!! This is a great idea to do if you find a marker with no lid...instead of just letting it dry out - stick it in a glue bottle! Thanks for the tip! I love your blog! I found you from the Crafty Crow.
so cool! I just bought a ton of glue on sale. we have to try this.
This is a great idea!! Glue and markers about in the sale bins right now and I think I'll have to head out and find some. What a fun project series...first making the glue and then making the cool "paintings". That could take up some summer afternoon time.
found yout hrough crafty crow....thanks for sharing.
We used to add a few scraps of colored crepe paper. The drawback for that is that the paper clogs up your glue, but if you fish it out, it works well.
Does the glue dry clear, as normal, or colored? Just wondering, before I try this myself. I think it will be more interesting to my kids if it remains colored.
Thanks!
