I have basically $32 bux into it and 1 hr of my time.. Picture isnt the best but you get the idea..
Decided to make a modification, removed the grass skirt which was just a overlay on the coozie ( and was getting a bit hot LOL), went to the dollar store and bought a oven mit .. total investment, $37. Yes you can get the thunder innovations one for $70 i believe but it was kool to make one.
