Abstract A bucket attachment tool holder for mounting on a conventional bucket having a loop handle. The tool holder includes an elongate piece of flexible material formed with pockets on one side thereof for receiving and holding tools, hook and loop fastener elements disposed near each end of the piece of material, but on opposite sides, for joining the ends together when the piece of material is wrapped around the exterior side walls of a bucket, and two snap hooks disposed on the piece of material at spaced-apart locations near or on a top edge thereof for attaching to the handle of the bucket. When the tool holder is wrapped around the bucket and the snap hooks snapped onto the bucket handle, the pockets of the tool holder face upwardly to receive and carry tools.
