This project looks great left in its natural state, or you can paint it as I did for a more colorful look.  I used acrylic paint.

Finish it off with some twine and a yellow wood bead.  Attach to a cooler or lunch bag and enjoy your work.

This file is vector so you can resize it without loosing quality.
