A Paint can that turns into a drying rack!

Every time I paint, I get annoyed that I dont have anywhere to put my paint supplies to dry. I end up leaving them in the sink and they are still wet by the time I'm ready for the next coat. So when Behr paint reached out to make a video for them, I knew exactly what design to make!

Built into a Can The drying rack is stored inside of the can, allowing for compact storage. And since it has a handle like a normal paint can, its super easy to take out of the closed and carry to whichever room your painting. Note, I used both the printed handle and an actual handle. The handle shown in the photos is a handle I just stole from an old paint can, but a printable version is included.

Expanding / Collapsing To open the drying rack, you just grab the middle of the can and lift up! The arms automatically open up. All you have to do is give it a firm twist to lock it into place

Drying Rack The drying rack has 18 arms. More than enough to hold all your brushes, rollers, and whatever else you want to keep elevated off the floor and drying. I actually used mine as a table to hold my waterbottle when I was painting. The arms are big enough to be strong, but also just small enough so you can fit the handle of a paintbrush onto the end of them.

How'd you make the Label? The paint can looks great plain, but I added a label to mine from a paint can I had lying around to make it look extra realistic. Just peel it off and stick it on with Tape.
