" Learn how to make the most of common household items, like hair dryers, dryer sheets and toothpicks, when you watch our 5 Ways video series! Each week, we feature a different item, which you most likely have lying around the house, and show you five new uses for it\u2014surprising even the most savvy homemaker. For instance, did you know the absorbent powders in sidewalk chalk can soak up stains on clothing? Or that dryer sheets can calm frizzy-hair flyaways? Today, tune in to our latest installment, in which WomansDay.com Assistant Editor Brynn Mannino demonstrates five new ways to put ice cube trays to use.      Tips from the Video: 1. Freeze coffee or tea for tastier iced beverages. Don&amp;#039;t let the perfect brew of iced coffee or tea get watered down with plain old ice cubes. Next time you make a batch of either beverage, freeze the leftovers in an ice cube tray to keep on hand the next time you feel like enjoying a refreshing sip.  2. Keep jewelry tangle-free. If your jewelry box is overflowing, store earrings, rings and necklaces in different compartments of an ice cube tray to keep accessories organized and tangle-free. 3. Organize your junk drawer. If your household catch-all has become a black hole of paper clips, rubber bands and staples, store each item in a separate compartment of an ice cube try to make trinkets easy to find when you need them.  4. Freeze tomato paste in pre-measured portions. Always find yourself with leftover tomato paste when a recipe calls for just one or two tablespoons? Next time, store the extra in separate compartments of an ice cube tray; each square holds just about two tablespoons. 5. Use as a catch-all while disassembling furniture and other items. When taking apart anything from a desk to a keyboard to a pair of eyeglass frames, use an ice cube tray to keep the screws and other parts organized and within arm&amp;#039;s reach.
