Making the Handle:

20. Have your Background and Foreground set to white.
21. Go to your Preset Shapes and choose Ellipse with antialias and vector checked. Draw an ellipse atop your Jar Lid. Resize and position as you'd like, convert to raster layer. Rename this layer to Jar Handle.
22. We are going to apply the same KPT5 effect to our handle. With your Jar Handle layer active, go to Selections, Select all, Float. Apply the same KPT5, shapeshifter effect.as illustrated in the screen shot below. Click the check mark. Selections - none. Reposition with your mover tool now if neccessary.

Save!

23. With your Jar Handle layer still active, Go to Selections, Select All, Float. Add a new layer called Shadow. Do not deselect yet.
24. Set your Foreground to black. Flood fill your Shadow layer and Deselect.
25. Go to Effects, Blur, Gaussian Blur with a radius of 6. Now move your Shadow layer to the top of your layer pallet.
26. Choose your Deformation Tool and manipulate the shadow to give the handle some depth. When happy with your shadow, move it below the Jar Handle layer. Reposition with your mover tool. Flatten a little more with the deformation tool if needed so it doesn't overlap the edge of the lid. Now lower the opacity of the shadow layer to 40.

27. At this point, you may want to merge-visible and tube your cookie jar or save as .psp to use and decorate differently at a later time. So in other words........Save! =o)
