A content creator is doing a thrift store makeover on a cat-shaped cookie jar. They clean the jar, sand it (although that doesn't work), and apply a base coat of gesso. They then introduce their own paint set, which includes pastel colors and a few neutrals, and use it to paint the jar. They cover the entire jar with paint, including the original face, and add details such as fur texture, eyes, and a nose. They then paint the base of the jar white and add a rainbow stripe design. After that, they attach the top and bottom of the jar together using hot glue, and cover the seam with caulk to make it look like frosting. They add sprinkles, fake fruit, and chocolate chips to complete the look, transforming the jar into a cat-shaped cake called "Caddy Cake." The final result is a colorful and whimsical decoration that the creator is happy with, despite some imperfections.
