Football Drink Dispenser
To turn a sports drink cooler into a football-inspired cocktail dispenser, remove the spigot and use painters' tape to carefully mask off all areas that you do not want to paint.
Sam Henderson
Spray paint the container with brown paint that includes a primer and is suitable for plastics. Allow to dry completely, according to the paint manufacturer's instructions.
Cut strips of thick, white fabric to resemble football laces. The lengths will vary depending on the size of your container. You will need two long pieces for the center (about 8-9 inches), and five or six small pieces (about 2 inches) to cross the two long pieces. The widths of all pieces should be the same (about 1/2 inch).
Sam Henderson
Center the two long strips over the spigot. Add the cross pieces, distributing them evenly over the long pieces.
Remove the masking tape and clean the container before use.
