Abstract: A holder for a paint can or other object having a handle is shown that is worn on the belt of a user. The holder comprises a base having a top and a bottom portion, the top portion being folded over the bottom portion and affixed thereto to form a loop which receives the belt of the user. A bracing means is attached to the top portion for holding the handle of the object so that the object will always be held in a vertical position. A swivelling means is attached to the bottom portion of said base and a strapping means is attached to said swivelling means for enclosing said object therein. In use, the object is placed in the strapping means and the handle thereof is attached to the bracing means, such that when the user bends over at an angle, the swivelling means will adjust the object so that it remains substantially upright and level to prevent spillage therefrom.
