Hi everyone! So glad you could drop by for visit. Tool Time Tuesday is where I try to find items that can be used in different ways. I find things in hardware stores, automotive stores, office supply stores, my recycling bin etc...the motto for Tool Time is to "think outside the box"! Always look twice at something and make your brain think beyond the norm...like this item below.
I love this Tool Time...Why? It was $2.39 and it's red! After I show you what you can use it for, you'll love it too.
This is a Handy Paint Cup.
A mini hand bucket. It's great for when you are painting or cutting in trim work. Just pour a little paint in and your hand fits comfortably under the handle. Wow...that sounded like a commercial ( I really have no connection to this product...just caught my eye in the paint aisle.)
See that black rectangle? It's a magnet.
Holds your paint brush out of the paint when not in use. Great for craft painting, not just wall painting.
The metal on the brush sticks to the magnet.
Well, it's Tool Time at Sew Many Ways, so needles and pins stick to this magnet too!!
Great handy bucket to hold hand sewing projects.
I'm sure the handle will fit on some chair arms or hang some where in the car when sewing on long trips.
Holds your hand sewing, scissors, glasses, thread etc. The needles and pins are always there on the magnet and won't get lost.
Great for...
- hand sewn hexagon projects
- cross stitching projects
- jewelry or bead work with the little metal tools
- the obvious craft paint
Take a trip down the paint aisle...great ideas in there!
Have a great Tuesday,
~Karen~

ReplyDeleteYour post always put a smile on my face...I was sitting there thinking what in the world and when you got to where it was hanging on a chair....the smile appeared....you are soooooooo amazing!

I've never seen that "paint cup" but what a great idea you have. I will be getting one for the hand embroidery I have to do on my BOMs.
