The attachment is formed of a main sheet material member which is folded upon itself to form a first leg and a second leg with both legs extending substantially in the same general direction. The first leg extends within the access opening of the paint can and has attached thereto an upturned member which protrudes back through the access opening and terminates exteriorly of the paint can. The second leg is in contact with the exterior surface of the paint can. Securing means are provided between the first leg and the second leg to securely position the attachment upon the paint can.
