Create an Electricity-Free Refrigerator with Flower Pots and Sand [Video]

If you're hanging outside and don't want to rely on inefficient coolers to keep your drinks cold, you can make this surprisingly effective refrigerator out of a few flower pots.

For this project you'll need two terracotta pots, one larger than the other, as well as some sand, water, and cloth. To make the "fridge", you just put one pot inside the other, and fill up the spaces with wet sand, which keeps the inside of the pots cold. You'l also need to put a wet towel over the top to keep the warm air and light from getting in. It's incredibly cheap, very effective, and doesn't require any electricity, which is perfect for those outdoor summer days. Check out the video above for more info.
