If there is one thing I've learned as I write more and more about hacks, it's how fantastic dish soap is for home projects. Add it to a few other ingredients, and you've got homemade detergent at your fingertips.

These ice cubes make me want spring and summer to just get here already! I can't wait for summer parties out on the patio, and fun drinks in my hand. Mother Nature, I'm coming for ya.

I love sushi, and I love to make it at home too. But for someone who hasn't got a lot of practice when it comes to rolling or molding sushi rice, it can be tough.

This is a nice hack for those who ain't got my skillz.

If you are anything like me, you know there isn't usually leftover wine. But, if by some miracle you do end up with leftover wine, you can freeze it for cooking later on.

My craft room is a huge mess and pretty much always disorganized. But despite that, there are few things that satisfy me quite like craft supplies organized by color.

I love wearing jewelry and accessories, but often forgo wearing stuff because it gets tangled (and I'm lazy AF).

This is a great solution, and if your ice cube tray is boring, you could always spray paint it a fun color like this teal!

If you have a bunch of broken crayons lying around your house because your kids like to press a little too hard when coloring, this might be the best DIY project for you! Just make sure your trays are microwave-safe.

This is something I've never thought of before, and I'm soooo here for it. I always end up using plates or napkins as a palette, but this works so much better.

I prefer my coffee ice cold, even in the dead of winter. This hack makes it so your iced coffee is not diluted with water, and it stays as strong as necessary to get you through the day.

These are perfect for making a unique version of chocolate milk, adding to your coffee for a café mocha, or even to a glass of Baileys at the end of the night.

It's basically just lemon and vinegar, but they are powerful against gross and smelly disposal pipes. Just freeze the two together, and toss the cubes down the disposal as needed.

S'mores are a tasty treat all year 'round, not just when you're wishing you hadn't agreed to go camping. This makes the process super simple, and oh so tasty.

A great way to make cool summer treats for your pup is to freeze milk bones inside of beef broth. It's a tasty treat on a cool day, and it'll be hilarious watching your doggo try and get at the bone.

Adding these to your drink is a great way to make yourself a delicious treat, or even better, just pop them in your mouth like bite sized popsicles!

If you're sick of stepping on tiny toys and wincing in pain each time, try displaying all of them in spray painted ice cube trays instead.

Washi tape is super cute, but just like most kinds of tape, it's hard to find your starting place once you've lost it. You can use ice cube trays to display, store, and make your tape easier to use!

This is great for kids, but if you want to make this one more adult, soak those gummy worms in vodka first! We aren't judging!

Do you ever have a craving for cookies but the stores are all closed and you don't have the ingredients? Freeze some cookie dough so you can have cookies whenever you want.

Ice cube trays make great molds for making tasty chocolate truffles, and I love anything with cheesecake inside! I mean, how amazing do these look?

I love to meal prep, but sometimes it ends up leaving me with way more food than I actually need. You can freeze little pucks of soups and sauces to have a dope meal later on.

No, not those kinds of frozen eggs. You can freeze leftover eggs for future cooking use too.

Eggs don't last long in my home (I make and eat a lot of cookies...), but this would be great if you aren't the same.

These can be added to any sauce or stew you can think off. They're especially great for those busy nights when you're tight on time!

With spring around the corner and summer not so far behind, these peanut butter ice pops are the perfect treat for the goodest boys and girls around.

Don't pay for that overpriced, candy-colored store brand any longer. If your machine uses hard water, pour a half cup of white vinegar in the bottom of the machine to avoid cloudy glassware.

Get a head start on your outdoor herb garden by growing seedlings in an ice cube tray! This is actually such a smart idea, and I'm definitely stealing it.

You can melt them down into rainbow crayons! These are a great, not to mention, super thrifty, craft to do with the kids.

Even if your not a fan of the drink, you have to admit, these are just plain pretty, and you can try them with cucumber slices too!

Aloe vera is great for sunburns, but it's even better when it's nice and cool. So freeze pucks of aloe vera in ice cube trays for that sweet, sweet relief.

This also goes for other recipe staples that you only ever need a little bit of but can only be purchased in bulk (looking at you, tomato paste!). Freeze the rest of it in pre-portioned amounts for whenever you have a recipe in need.

A party time classic. Why did i never think to put them in ice trays?! No little paper cups to clean up and it's way more economical!

Create your own shower melts (think of a bath bomb, but for the shower instead!), and use an ice cube tray as a mold. You'll never shower the same way again!
