Easily store your paint brushes in a bucket
I was always taught to store paint brushes ‘upside down’ to protect the bristles, trouble is, they always fall over in the bucket for me. So I had a think about how I could stop the brush handles sliding around on the bottom of the bucket and came up with this tip…
Keeping chickens means I always have a few egg trays handy, so I cut one up to be a tight fit in the square bucket I use to store my ‘paint brush collection’. So far it works a treat. No more smaller paint brushes ‘lost’ on the bottom of the bucket. You’ll need to choose a bucket size that’s pretty full once all your brushes are in it. A half empty bucket won’t work as there is too much space for the brushes to fall over.
Cut an egg tray to fit tightly on the bottom of your bucket.
Easy to see what brush you want and no damaged bristles.

Hope that makes you think about the small problems that niggle you (and to come up with a simple solution). Small irritations are perfect practice for your DIY problem solving. What’s been bugging you today? Let me know in the comments and as they say, two minds are better than one!
Stay well
