Not only with this idea keep you from getting late; you can also stack the ice cube trays to optimize your space.
SEED BOMBS
I’m sure after you learn how to make seed bombs you wouldn’t want to turn to old-school gardening again.

Scrunch water soaked newspaper into a ball of pulp, add the seeds of your choice inside, allow it to strain through a tea towel, after you pack the seed newspaper pulps into a ice cube tray. You do not freeze them, instead you leave them out to get dried completely. After making one, try another, the shapes are endless!

Now when you find yourself sunburnt and in pain just pop these babies out and apply to the area. Aloe has many healing properties thus it is ideal to use on sunburns.
