Hints From Heloise
Other uses for milk cartons:
Use to make block ice for ice chests. Keep one next to the sink to hold wet garbage.
Cut off the top, fill with dirt and use to start seedlings.
Use as a candle mold when melting and remolding candle pieces.
Use two to make a building block; just cut the tops off both and insert one inside the other.
Dear Heloise: When that barbecue needs to be replaced, remove all the parts necessary to barbecue. Place a piece of wood securely over the empty place, give the “skeleton” frame a good scrubbing and repaint. Voila! You have a beautiful plant stand for the patio.
When it comes time for storm preparations, all the plants can be wheeled into a safe storage place. - Ann Blackburn, Harvey, La.
