Hey girl. It’s the weekend. A long weekend. Are you going to the lake or to the swimming pool? Would you like a beverage available next to your raft? Make a Floating Cooler to take with you!
Did you know you can make a floating cooler for just a few bucks and a pool noodle? Yep, just a pool noodle and a few household items (that you may even already have!) and BOOM! You’ve got yourself a floating cooler that you can use over and over again.
Floating cooler materials
Pool Noodle
Small(ish) tub
Scissors
Rope or twine
Floating Cooler Directions:
1. Take your tub and measure each side.
2. Cut your pool noodle to the correct lengths for each side of the tub.
3. Feed the twine through the parts of the noodle and tie to secure.
4. Tuck the ends of the rope back into the noodles.
Voila! You’ve got yourself a floating cooler! Although the water (as long as its not HOT) should help to keep the cans cool, I do recommend draping a towel over to keep the sun from baking them. Our tub holds a solid twelve pack of 12 oz cans. Love it!
Tada! How cool is that?! Now while the kids are getting their swimming on momma can chill in the cool water with a cool beverage in hand. When you make one, make sure to tag me on social media using @HeartHookHome so I can see you rockin’ yours too! Cheers!
I don’t know about you but I’m needing a new pool raft to go with that floating cooler and I’m thinking this one looks just a little like heaven!
