Paint it black?
No, I don't want to paint the cooler or alter it in any way. I should have mentioned that in my original post. I'm mostly looking for suggestions on how I could decorate it to make it fit the party, rather than being a big eyesore.Paint it black?
Oo, I like the idea of using foam board as a base for decorating it! The tombstones are also a good idea.You could get some foam core board (or stiff cardboard) and make like a 3-sided covering or get fancy and make it into a crypt. or you could attach foam tombstones to it or camoflage it behind some tombstones. Do you have a certain theme or decorations you're trying to work around?
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very creative!Cover it with green fur fabric, put some ping-pong ball eyes and a nose on the top, make the inside lid look like the roof of a mouth. Make fabric arms that are attached to the side of the cooler with the hands attached to the lid - when the lid is opened it looks like the arms are helping. And there's your Monster Cooler.
Or, use black fur fabric, add 6 more ping-pong ball eyes, and make it a Spider Cooler.
You could paint it with craft paint, it's washable and won't leave a stain. I can totally see it decked out as a coffin with a skeleton hand peeking out of the edge.
Attach various rubber snakes, spider, bugs, and such to it.
Put a biohazard sign on the top.
Put a "Emergency Organ Transport" sign on it, plus a few medical items.
Forgot to mention, Get some battery operated flashing LED's, preferably red or orange. Put it in a plastic food storage container (the ones used for left overs) and put it in the bottom of the cooler. It will flash and reflect off all the ice.
That is an awesome idea! I love that, as well as the organ transplant. I think this may be what I go for! Thank you so much for your input.Forgot to mention, Get some battery operated flashing LED's, preferably red or orange.
