I am super excited about this project and can’t wait to share it with you. This is an easy and inexpensive side table that doubles as a cooler! So useful and the best part is that you can take it with you – football games, parties, camping, etc.
You’ll need a 15″ plastic flower pot and a pizza pan to create the table. I got both of mine from Walmart.
I was working with Hometalk on a video for this and we talked about options to spruce it up a bit more. We decided to try and give it a galvanized steel look. (Thanks Kara for the idea and help.)
Optional Step – I used Rustoleum paint, sprayed it, let dry completely, and I waited 24 hours before it was ready for use.
Here comes the fun part! Add some ice to the inside of your flower pot.
Fill the flower pot with a variety of your favorite drinks for everyone.
Put your pizza pan on top and it will serve as the table top.
So simple and now you’re ready to enjoy your side table!
When you’re ready for a beverage – open the lid…
Everyone can get what they want.
It’s transportable, great as a gift idea, & useful for holidays and yard parties. We love ours and are so happy with how light, useful, and portable it is.

What a great idea! So simple, functional, and looks great too!
Thank you so much Linda! I love how we can transport it where we need it as well.
Perfect!
What a fantastic idea! Don’t have to keep getting up to get a drink. Nice.
Thank you so much Pam, I love it for that reason too 🙂
Super cool idea

Thank you so much Molly 🙂
This is a great idea. I bet it wouldn’t be too hard to add a handle to it – pizza pans aren’t that stiff so drilling through them and adding a drawer pull?
Thank you and that is a great idea to add some handles – then you have a serving tray too 😉
