DIY "retro" Dr Pepper Cooler

---

How to take a plain retro look cooler and turn it into a vintage inspired Dr. Pepper cooler.

Step 1:

Purchase a retro look cooler on Amazon.

Here's a link to the one I used: https://amzn.to/4d1TZP6

I searched high and low for a vintage Dr Pepper green colored one, but it couldn't be found. I have to give credit where credit is due on this project, my brother-in-law did this YEARS ago and he did find that perfect Dr Pepper green, so I'm a bit jealous! But I'll save you the time and let you know I didn't find anything of the sorts on Amazon, at least at this time!

Step 2:

Remove badge

I used a blow dryer to heat up the badge and then it removed easily.

Step 3:

Remove goo from badge

Then I used a cotton ball dipped in rubbing alcohol to remove the sticky goo the badge left behind, cleaned up real nice!

Step 4:

Apply stickers

You could use whatever style of stickers, for this project I wanted a Dr Pepper inspired cooler, so that's what I went with. So I used the cotton ball with rubbing alcohol already on it and cleaned the area I was going to apply the sticker to ensure it was clean. Then I carefully placed the sticker ensuring there were no air bubbles.

Step 5:

That's all! Enjoy your vintage inspired cooler!
