DIY: "Mason Jar"

This weekend I completed a mini-project involving two things: an empty Classico pasta jar and some spray paint. After having spaghetti one night, I noticed how pretty the shape of the empty jar was, inscribed with some of the classic mason jar elements. So I thoroughly washed the pasta jar and soaked it for a couple hours in warm water and soap. After a little more scrubbing, it was clean as a whistle. I got some farmhouse red spray paint and painted the cover, let that sit for an hour, and voila! I ended up using this particular jar to hold rice, which is a great replacement for the messy plastic bags that it's normally stored in. I'm definitely planning to keep my Classico jars from now on to store more goodies in the future!
