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 these look just a little like heaven!
