In elementary school, we all used to make these bookmarks and I've been reading a lot latly so I decided to make them again! There so funky! :)
-
1
First, find a Spacemaker or other kind of pencil box with a shallow basin, and pick your favorite color markers. Crayola washable markers or permenate markers or whatever you have will work great!
-

Next, color in the basin in your choice of colors and patterns. But, make sure to keep it simple because when it dries, all of the colors will be blended together.
-
3
Fill the whole basin with color or leave part of it blank for a clear bookmark. You can do anything you want, be creative! Even if you mess up, it will turn out great!

Next, fill the depresion with Elmers Multi-Purpose Glue. Fill all the way around and up to the edges.
-
5
You'r ganna want it kindof thick because when it dries, it will turn out sturdier. They last forever!

After about 2 days, the glue is completely dry and the glue is totally clear, whereas you can see the logo of the pencile box clearly, peel the glue back and let it sit on a dry surface for about 5 minutes and enjoy!! The perfect bookmark!!

I remember making these all. the. time in elementary school. We all thought they were absolutely genius! Too bad I don't have a pencil box anymore. ):

I tried this with red food dye, glitter and a heart shape cookie cutter. It turned out fab! (now we have an endless supply of bookmarks ....)

Acrylic Glue will work fine as well, as long as it's liquid, any glue will work! Thanks for the comments!! :)
