I cut a straw the length of the slots in the ice cube tray. Next I take a piece of yarn and string the straws onto it. I carefully place the straws in each ice cube section and add water.

When it is frozen solid I pop it out and there you have it: An ice cube necklace to keep you cool.

Want to be fancier? Add food coloring to make different colored cubes. Place a small flower, or a piece of candy, a bead or a tiny shell in the water in the tray and freeze the item into your necklace.
