  Step 1

  Get Treats for the Kitty Jar (catnip, bonito flakes, and some cat toys and treats were in mine)

  I placed the treats etc in small bags found in craft stores but even tied sandwich bags would do ( gotta keep em fresh!)

• Step 2

  Determine what size jar it will take to fit all the treats.
  Then get the clear jar and clean it (I used a clear 'canned chilli' jar of some sort- but a ball jar could work or any clear jar with a twist on top.) The top being easy to get on/off would be good if possible.

  [This is great if you recycle glass jars already as then it is free, but if not they are not hard to find.]

• 

  Step 3

  Choose an image/ text to put on the top of your lid. I called mine Kitty Treats as the cats name is actually "Kitty" and I thought it would be cute.

  Use glue/tacky and glue the picture/text you chose on the lid. (Mine was just a blurry photo I took, threw into a photo editor, added text "Kitty Treats" ovelayed on it), but you could just paint or write on it if you'd like.

  This is the picture I used.(Feel free to use this image here for this project only please).

  Step 4

  Paint around the edges and any part of the jar top you dont want to see (I used nailpolish in several coats-as it wasn't very nice anymore as I didn't have much else to work with)

  Decorate it how you like, I found making dots in silver fancied it up =D

  Let dry according to how long the paint usually dries at ( my nail polish took about 45 min)

  I was told later sealing this with a clear sealer would of been a good idea, thats up to you as it will last longer sealed.

  Step 5

  Tie/tape a bow on the jar if wanted

  (I curled my own cheapy ribbon I had picked up before and just tacked it with strong tape at the bottom since this was a temp jar for someone I barely know and I just wanted to dress it up a little xD)

• 

  Step 6

  ~Arrange treats inside so it looks nice~

  Screw top on in such way it highlights the best treats in front (optional)

• 

  Step 7

  ~Kitty Treats Jar complete! ~

  Go give it to a needy kitty (owner)!

  ( I now notice I shoulda retouched as you can still see red top under the green paint...whoops. Ehehe. It wasn't really noticable and the reciever was pleased though ;)
