Print the template picture to card and cut out the pieces you want.

Decorating the jar with a spider's web
Mark out a web design on the outside of the jar, freehand or by positioning the template inside and tracing over the lines with a permanent marker, we used black and then silver to highlight the threads and then set it aside for the ink to dry.

Adding playdough

3/4 fill the jar with dough, separating any colours with circles of craft foam, ours were cut out using pinking scissors. Leave enough room at the top to include a little bag of glitter, a cookie cutter and a spider!

Tracing spider web lines onto glass jars Cutting discs of foam to separate the different playdough colours
Making a broom-spoon
Cut out the broomstick image from the templates and fold up the lower section marked by the horizontal line. Sticky tape this flap in place by running a piece across the front of the broom and wrapping it around the sides, this should then form a slot that can hold your teaspoon.

Once ready, use a 'thick hair' elastic band (slightly larger than regular hairbands!) to hold the broom-spoon to the side of the jar.

Labels
Trim the hat of choice, hole puch the top and thread through a length of cord, ribbon or string. Add your message on the back, thread on the precautionary 'do not eat' tag and tie to the neck of the jar.
