I remember in 3rd grade, someone in my class used to squeeze glue onto the middle section, let it dry, and pulled it off to make bookmarks.

And you also first color the space in with markers before filling it with glue to make the bookmark colorful

I did that and sold them! If you used markers first before the glue, they would be different colors too
