Abstract: A paint brush holder mounts on the rim of an open paint can and holds a paint brush between intervals of use. When the handle of a paint brush is received in the brush holder, the bristles of the brush are held over the opening in the paint can, and any paint dripping from the brush falls back into the paint can. The brush holder is made of two main members: a mount member for engaging the rim and outer wall of a paint can, and a brush holder head fixed to the top of the mount member. The head member is made of a compressible and resilient material and has a notch disposed in its upper portion to tightly receive and retain the handle of a paint brush. A magnetic strip or an adhesive pad can be used with the brush holder to further secure it in place.
