Every year, we go on a big camping trip with our extended family. This year, my daughter and her cousin wanted to have a cooler for just the two of them. Instead of buying a new one, we decided to give one of our old coolers a makeover.
This is what I started with.
All it took was some spray paint and a little vinyl to transform it this cute cooler!
Here is a great tutorial on how to paint a cooler.
Come back later for the free digital file to make your own.

I seriously don't think I would have thought to make over a cooler. Now I want to go spray paint shopping for our coolers; I hate the colors! I'll be featuring this on my blog tomorrow!
