An improved apparatus and method for holding articles on a ladder, operable with a combination of a tool belt, a tool box, and/or an apron. In one combination that uses all of these items, the apron has belt loops. The apron attaches to the sidewall of the tool box. The belt loops secure the tool belt. And the tool box with the apron and the tool belt attached is situated on the top step of the ladder. To stabilize the tool box on the top step, the apron has an edge overhang, which extends over at least part of the sidewall of the top step. For further stabilization, the belt loops also extend over at least part of the sidewall of the top step, thereby allowing the tightening of the tool belt around the sidewall of the top step. Additionally the tool box is stabilized on the step ladder by straps attached to either the tool box or to the apron itself. The straps extend underneath the top step of the step ladder.
