Thread: Dollar Tree styrofoam cooler

Tweet

Here is a tombstone I made using the small foam cooler from the Dollar Tree. Plus a 50 cent cherub from Michaels, a piece of styrofoam from the trash at work, and a small garden angel that I have had in my backyard for years.

That is awesome! Very creative...Ooooo. I gotta do one now. What supplies did you use?

Bethene that is fantastic!!! So a cooler from Dollar tree and some scrap styrofoam??? Wow. I love the finished product and that little garden angel is great, but you know Im all about the garden stuff now Great job!!

If you hadn't told what the materials are, I wouldn't have guessed it was a cooler...

Lovely stone!

Peoples creativity around here never ceases to amaze me.

Elza, I used the foam cooler from the dollar tree, a piece of styrofoam aboout 1 1/2 inches thick and about 14"x8", took the top off, turned the cooler upside down on the shhet of foam, and used liquid nails to attach, the used liquid nails to attach the top to the bottom of the cooler, again, used liquid nails to attach the cherub, painted it , set the angel next to it, voila, instant $1.50 cooler!! Of course if you had to buy the foam on the bottom, it woudl cost a bit more. I had to just hand paint the RIP on it, as it was too thin to carve into.

That's great bethene! Now I really have to get my butt in gear!

Wow, that looks great.

I saw that cooler today when I was there looking for crows. I said I wonder what I can do with that. LOL Guess I'll go back tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!!!!

Looks great!I use coolers also this year my christmas angel will sit on top of a joint compound painted one that will be a fog chiller.Hope it works well haven't tested it but I figure last year I used a small bucket as a chiller and it worked ok for my yard.Low ground fog.That this should work better.
