Are you making it for yourself, or for sale?  Jamie Grant might have something to say about it - he makes the "Anything is Possible" bottles.

As far as rubber spider webs, I see two options for you: 1) wait for the Halloween season and hit up the costume/decor shops, or 2) Get friendly with someone who owns a 3-D printer and possesses the skills to use it.  They're fantastic inventions and getting less expensive almost by the hour, but they're still not entirely cheap, nor are they easy to get good results from unless you're a CAD/CAM fiend.  You can probably find someone online that's selling their services in this area.  It might cost more than the Halloween option, but it does allow you much greater flexibility in terms of materials used and precisely what design you want.

As an add-on to 2), if you can find another (or the same) person who's also skilled with vacuum molding, that would be a cheaper alternative in the long run to 3-D printing every single web you make, especially if you want dozens or hundreds of the exact same design.

Don, thank you for reply. I have been making it for myself. I search for a web but could not find any. Although I have no idea about the materials used in 3D printing but I want an elastic rubber web because placing a flimsy plastic web in bottle may be difficult.

A variety of substances can be used for creating a 3-D printed object - it's really up to what you want to do with it.  You could, if you have the talent for it, buy sheets of rubber and simply cut out your own webs, too, but that sounds very difficult and error-prone.

Don, thanks for reply.

I told it to a friend and he said " Place a spider in bottle and let it build the web!"

I found this spray to make webs.

But I think that, instead of using these pricey web sprays, I can make a web from raw silk; first I loosely lay raw silk fibers on a nylon sheet then spray a light coat of 3M adhesive spray over silk fibers. After placing deck in bottle I can place that silk web around deck, of course using not too much silk web in bottle, otherwise deck can not be seen.

Actually, the idea of putting a spider in the bottle is not a bad one...  On the one hand, the fibers will be delicate, but on the other, ounce for ounce, natural spider webbing is supposed to be as strong as high-tensile steel cable.  You'd want to secure the deck in the bottle somehow to insure the web never gets ruined.

"Web-in-a-can" products are more for Halloween decorations - they don't look terribly realistic.
