Abstract: Wooden paint stirring sticks provided to consumers by retail stores are not ergonomic and are difficult to hold. The present invention is a reusable handle or grip for wooden paint stifling sticks which is ergonomic and inexpensive to manufacture. The present invention may be of one piece molded construction and formed with an internal chamber adapted to receive the end of a wooden stir stick and hold it therein by friction fit. The present invention may also serve as a handle for a bail on a paint can through the implementation of a transverse groove formed on its exterior surface. The present invention's shape also allows the wooden paint stir stick to lie flat (when inserted into the present invention) on a support surface with the stick above the surface so that it will not stick to the support surface when covered with paint.
