Organize Craft Supplies

Use the compartments of your tray to sort small craft supplies. Next time you start a project, gather your supplies in a tray, using each compartment to store a different type of item.

Jewelry Storage

Place your ice cube tray in a drawer and use each space to house a different piece of jewelry. It’s a great solution for storing rings, pins, earrings and more in an easy-to-access location.

Save Flavorings or Sauces

Line your tray with plastic wrap, then fill each cube with a flavorful mix, like pesto. When it comes time to add a dash of flavor to a dish, pop out a cube and add it to your recipe!

Clean the Compartments

Remember to clean your trays before each use! Dawn® Hand Renewal with Olay Beauty is a great choice since it goes beyond dishwashing by helping your hands seal in moisture while you wash.

Perfectly Portioned Snacks

When serving kids snacks, place a few treats in each cube and set the tray out during a play date or sleepover. You’ll limit excessive snacking while providing a yummy mini-buffet of options.

Office Organization

Give small office supplies a spot to call home by placing an ice cube tray in a desk drawer. The small compartments are perfect for storing items like paperclips, pushpins and even USB drives.

Frozen Juice

Fill your ice cube tray with leftover juice and place it in the freezer. Your juice cubes can be used in a recipe, to chill a glass of juice without diluting the flavor or to sweeten a glass of water.
