How To Make Halloween Cookie Mix In Jars

Just follow these step-by-step instructions and you’ll make your own DIY cookie mix!

Step 1: Trim The Halloween Napkins

Make your jar first by trimming your napkin to fit nicely on the jar. I cut off 3 of the four sides, leaving just the clean front of the skull and flowers.

Step 2: Attach The Napkin To The Jar

Coat the jar with a layer of mod podge, then immediately place the prepared skull napkin on the surface of the jar. Take care to place it carefully because the napkin is thin and fragile–and will tear if you try to move it after the napkin comes in contact with the mod podge.

One thing to note: I left the measurement marks on my mason jar visible on the back of my jar because I thought it would be neat to see how much of each ingredient is in the jar. Allow this first layer of mod podge to dry completely.

Step 3: Coat With Another Layer of Mod Podge

Coat the napkin-covered jar with a second layer of mod podge, just to provide extra protection for the napkin. Allow this second layer of mod podge to dry completely.

Step 4: Fill The Jar With Cookie Mix

Fill your jar with the cookie mix. I tried a couple of variations, but my preferred choice was to split the flour into 3 portions. Then I just added the darker ingredients between these 3 layers with the sprinkles in the very middle.

Fill your jar with the cookie mix. Add ingredients one at a time in layers.

Step 5: Seal the Jars

Once filled, place the lid on the jar and secure it tightly.

Cut your fabric to about a 5-inch by 5-inch square or a 6-inch diameter circle.

Punch a hole in the top of the recipe card and thread the string or raffia to it.

  1. That is really fun. The image on mod-podged on the jar is terrific. Great idea to use a napkin! I’m feeling a little sad because it sounds like they are cancelling trick-or-treating in my town this year, so I’m happy to see a fun idea like this. Happy Halloween!
