If you're someone who likes to spend time outdoors with friends then you probably own a cooler and use it often. What would you do without it? It not only holds your favorite drinks, but it also keeps them cold. Kick it up a notch by creating your own rustic cooler. You can even use a cooler you already have as a base for this project.

The best part about this DIY cooler is that it looks like a bar. It's a rustic addition to any party and doubles as a conversation starter. In my opinion, store-bought coolers are so dull and clunky-looking. This DIY cooler is unique and you know your friends won't have one. I can easily see this as a backyard BBQ must-have item!

Let's take a look at how to build a rustic cooler!
