Almost Makes Perfect Shows How to Jazz up a Cooler for Summer

For those wanting to jazz up a cooler for the hot summer months, Almost Makes Perfect has an easy DIY set of instructions so that one's picnic sidekick stands out. Most coolers are quite generic, so having the ability to make one that's distinct helps to boost that summer mood.

With some spray paint, wood grain paper, rope and a bit of super glue, one can add a few small but noticeable touches to the cooler so that it looks far more chic than when you bought it. One must take the paper, cut it out for the appropriate size and attach this section to the lid. The rope is then wrapped around the handle which helps to give the cooler a vintage-like look. Just like that you're ready for a picnic!
