Drywall Bucket Gets a New Handle
Transform a drywall bucket into an easy-to-carry seat with this quick, simple handle.
Recently, I was doing some painting while sitting on an upside-down drywall bucket. When it came time to move, I found it difficult to get hold of the bucket with one hand. So I decided to make a DIY bucket handle for the bottom side. To start, I applied a piece of Gorilla Tape from one side of the bucket to the other, leaving slack for a handle.
Next, I put another piece of Gorilla Tape face down under the handle part. And to make it virtually bulletproof against an accidental sticking, I wrapped it with two strips of masking tape. Now it’s easy to move, it still works as a bucket, and it works even better as a bucket seat.
