You can cool yourself down by making a nice frozen yogurt snack, and we're gonna use teaspoons for handles.

Use a knife to make a small slit in the center of the yogurt pot

Then push through a teaspoon.

The lid will help to keep it centralized and upright.

Do the same with the other pots

and carefully place them in the freezer.

The following day, they'll be frozen solid and ready to eat.

Just snap one off,

and peel off the lid.

and you can put the rest back into the freezer for later.

You can experiment with different flavours,

and if you like, you can use sticks instead of teaspoons.

I'm using these to make some mini ones.

If you find your frozen lolly, or popsicle, starts melting before you've finished it which often happens with small children,

you can take a cupcake paper,

make a small slice in the bottom

and slide it over the stick, to act as a drip-tray, and help stop those sticky fingers.

and you can of course use them with frozen yoghurts we made earlier too.

You can also thread a straw through a cupcake paper

and use it to stop any flies or wasps getting into your drink.

and if you'd like to try something a bit different

you can serve up drinks in nice glass bottles like this:

To keep your drink cold you can take a ziplock freezer bag

And fill it with fruit

Remove any stalks first

And you can use a variety of different fruits

When you're done, zip up the bag

And pop it in the freezer

Next time you want a cold drink, take your frozen fruit

And drop a few pieces into your drink

Unlike ice, these wont melt and dilute your drink

Instead, they will slowly thaw and add more flavor

Pretty cool huh?

And if you are drinking white wine

Cool it down with frozen white grapes

If you want to cool down a whole bottle (quickly)

Take a couple of sheets of kitchen paper

And wrap it around the bottle

Give it a quick soak under the tap

And squeeze off any excess moisture

Then put the bottle in the freezer

And after about 15 minutes it should be really nice and cold

If you're having a picnic with your cat, and fancy having a few beers

Buy some ice cubes at the same time and you can make your own DIY cool box

Open up the box

And remove all the beers

Use your carrier bag to line the box

And replace all the bottles

Then open up your ice

Then tip it into the box to cover over all the beers

This will keep your drinks cold for a nice long time

and if you've done anything wrong, I'm sure your cat will let you know.

If you want to water your plants, but haven't got a watering can, you can take an empty milk bottle,

Remove the lid, and use a pin to pierce a series of holes in the cap

Fill it up with water,

And there you have a really simple DIY watering can,

If you're playing with water balloons, but find it a bit annoying having to fill them up at the tap all the time,

maybe you haven't got a tap with the right nozzle or maybe you're going to the park, and won't have access to a tap at all.

You can take a soap bottle, like this.. and fill it with water

and we can fill balloons up with the pump on top.

Slide a balloon over the spout,

hold it on with one hand, and pump it full of water with the other.

When it's full, you can tie it off with a knot

and do another balloon straight away.

It does take quite a few pumps, but it does mean you don't have to keep going back to the tap

and people with smaller hands, may find it easier to pull a balloon over a spout like this, instead of the larger nozzle on a tap

This bottle allowed me to fill up four balloons, before running out of water.

And when it's empty, if you like you can fill it back up from a plastic bottle or jug, so you can stay where you are and defend your base.

If you want loads of water balloons really quickly, you could get yourself a pack of these 'Bunch o balloons'

There pretty easy to use

they just attach to a Hosepipe

and you fill up about 35 at a time.

And they reckon you can do about 100 balloons in a minute

they automatically tie themselves

and they're great for a water fight.

Try and pick up all your rubbish at the end, but the balloons and 'o' rings are bio-degradable.

And you can recycle this part:

If you're going out and about, maybe to the beach and you want to conceal some money, you can stash it into an empty lip salve tube.

Fold up your money,

and roll it up, nice and tight

Slide it down into the tube

and put the lid back on

And if you need some money later, just twist the bottom and it will pop right out.

If you want to stash more things, like a credit card, some money, maybe some keys and a mobile phone

You can hide them in an empty back of baby wipes.

Once you've closed the lid, no one would ever know

and if you keep it next to other packets, it will look even more discrete

It's nice and easy to access your items

and if you wanted to, you could even hide your wallet inside

alternatively you can take an old sunscreen bottle

and turn that into a secret stash box

and you'll be surprised at how much stuff you can fit inside

If you're worried about getting sand in your phone, when you go to the beach

you can place it inside a ziplock bag

do up the zip,

and you should find (that) your phone still works perfectly well through the bag

and if you want to watch something with your mobile phone

you can use your sunglasses as a make-shift stand

If you're having a barbeque,

but haven't got any fire lighters to get it going

you can use some Doritos

clear a space

and put a small pile in the middle

then take a match and light them up

they burn really well and once you've got them lit, you can start building up charcoal around

and it doesn't take long for them to really get going

If you haven't got any Doritos, you can use cotton wool and Vaseline

Take some cotton wool

and cover it in Vaseline

this is nice and slow burning, so it works really well to start barbeques

Place it in the charcoal

Light it up

and start building the coal up around it again

it works really well and it's perfect in an emergency if you're struggling to get it started

A muffin tray is a great way to serve sauces and dips at your barbeque

and you can even add small salad pieces for your burgers like cucumbers and tomatoes

It makes it easier than carrying all your sauce bottles outside individually

and it's an attractive way to display your dips
