I have 4 FL OZ of perfectly good Elmer’s glue. I feel like reverting back to my childhood and doing arts and crafts. What shall I make? ---

Pour just a bit onto your hand and let it dry. Then peel it off. Ohhh, fun! Or, Get some construction paper and some assorted pasta. Make a pasta picture! Same as above, but with glitter! Pretty! Cut out small versions of your artwork and glue to magnets! Voila’ - Fridge Art! Sneek into the mall and glue a dollar bill to the floor. Hide and watch the antics ensue! Make homemade Silly Putty. Directions [HERE](http://www.kidsturncentral.com/crafts/crecipe32.htm) and the most obvious… Cut and Paste! 😃 ---

Pour some onto Satisfying Andy Licious’s tongue, roll it up, hold it together with a toothpick or clamp and allow to set overnight. And the next night too. And the next night…and the next… ---

I’m with **Lyllyan** on this one. First thing I thought of. On the back of the hand, light coating, let dry and peel. Again and again. Not that I’m obsessed with the idea or emotionally stuck in the first grade or anything. ---

Water it down slightly and decoupage something with tissue paper. Or peel it off your hand. Or peel it off a baby’s hand. ---

Pour it in a thick layer on your fingernails, spread it out like nail polish and let it dry clear. then go on a bus or subway where there are a lot of people and peel off your “fingernails” ---

Another vote for pour it on your hand. Or another body part. Get creative.
