Paint Can Pocket: The Dumbest Fashion Statement

This shows you how to make the Paint Can Pocket, a very useful, but incredibly stupid looking paint tool caddy... basically a paint can you've strapped to your belt.

Now you're asking: Why would I ever want to endure the embarrassment of wearing that stupid thing?

Well, suppose you're doing a paint job on top of a tall ladder...
...and you happen to have some wet rags and paintbrushes that you don't want soaking your clothes... ...and the top step of the ladder already has the can of paint on top of it...
...and your left hand is holding the rafter for dear life as you reach out to get that faaaaar corner...
...and you don't want to drop something every five minutes...
...and your Leatherman keeps getting stuck between your cell phone and butt cheek...
...well then, this might be a solution to those problems.

Not having those problems? Well then, I can't help ya.
Let's continue...

Step 1 Materials

You will need...

1 Gallon Paint Can
1 Velcro Utility Strap (found mine at Home Depot)
1 Carabiner (Screw type preferable)

You don't necessarily NEED to use a carabiner. You just need something that your belt can pass through and can hold the weight of the can.

Why is it that really useful things are so dorky? This is great but add some decals or stickers to the sides of the can so the full effect can sink in for everyone who sees you.

clever idea! another plus is the huge storage space when compared to a pocket!
