a plurality of cavities located on the outer surface of the lower portion of the device; and

a plurality of handle attachment means, each of said plurality of handle attachment means comprised of a first arm and a second arm, wherein one end of the first arm is affixed within one end of one of the plurality of cavities, and one end of the second arm is affixed within the other end of the plurality of cavities, each of the plurality of handle attachment means having a handle notch thereon for accepting a paint can handle of a paint can therein to secure the paint can to the carriage, each handle attachment means located in one of the plurality of cavities.

2. The carrying device of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of attachment plates and attachment screws located on the outer surface of the lower portion of the carriage and recessed therein to affix the first and second arms securely within the cavities.

3. The carrying device of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of attachment plates comprises two small attachment plates and two large attachment plates.

4. The carrying device of claim 1 , wherein the first arm is comprised of a stationary flange and a rotatable flange, said rotatable flange having a handle notch on its upper surface and a mating recess and mating protrusion on its lower surface, said rotatable flange connected to the stationary flange via a bolt which allows the rotatable flange to move upwardly so that the handle attachments means is in an open position, and to move downwardly so that the handle attachments means is in an closed position; and wherein the second arm is comprised of a stationary flange having a mating recess and a mating protrusion on its upper surface.

5. The carrying device of claim 4 , wherein when the handle attachment means is in the closed position, the mating recess of the rotatable flange fits onto the mating protrusion of the second arm and the mating protrusion of the rotatable flange fits into the mating recess of the second arm.

6. A method to easily carry paint cans from one location to another using the device of claim 4 , said method comprising:

placing each of the plurality of handle attachment means in an open position by rotating upwardly each of the rotatable flanges;

placing a paint can handle of a paint can in each of the handle notches;

placing each of the plurality of handle attachment means in a closed position by rotating downwardly each of the rotatable flanges;

having a user hold the device with one hand by placing each of their fingers in each of the plurality of indentations on the inner surface of the upper portion of the device; and

carrying the device with attached paint cans from one location to another.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the device comprises three handle attachment means to secure three paint cans thereto.

8. The carrying device of claim 1 , wherein the device comprises three cavities and three handle attachment means.

9. The carrying device of claim 1 , wherein the upper portion of the device is arcuate-shaped or trilaterally-shaped, and the lower portion of the device is linear, bowed outwardly or bowed inwardly.
