Hi everyone,
I’m wanting to personalise a glass jar for my cats treats (yes, he is king, I am his servant).
can anyone advise me of the best way to do this? Do I just buy adhesive letters or is there a better way?
Thank you

It depends, letters would be fine, you could also use paint? What sort of look are you going for?

I have a Cricut Machine & have personalised a few jars for my own and my friends pets using permanent vinyl that I've cut out on my cricut and stuck on. There are loads of people on ebay who sell pre-made and personalised vinyl decals, you'll have plenty of choice if you decide to do that! Or another option if you're using a glass jar would be to use vinyl lettering or patterns and buy some etching cream, you just rub the cream on over the vinyl and it etches the glass, it's super easy and effective.

not entirely sure, more some fancy lettering that’s going to last and not peel. Although I like what the user above suggested with etching cream so may look into that!

Oh wow, love that jar! Thank you for your suggestions, I think I will look into vinyl and etching cream. I’ve never done anything crafty as I’m more of a pencil drawing kind of gal but my boy needs his own ‘cookie jar’

yes. I am a crazy cat mum

Love your jar !
I also have a Cricut and love it. I only started crafting when I retired and I absolutely love it, but I think I need to get a job to pay for all the crafting supplies or actually charge people
