Take a close look at your store-bought pasta sauce jars and you'll find that many of them are common Atlas Mason jars. I purposefully buy Classico because they not only make delicious sauce, but you get a true Atlas Jar in the end. Of course glass is recycleable, but with so many brands of food switching to plastic, I enjoy the feel of a nice heavy glass jar. For that reason, I started running mine through the dishwasher to resuse later.
[On an important side note, the regular canning jar screw-type lids fit these jars! So ditch the tomato-smelling metal lid and use it open, or with a new canning jar lid.] Now on to the craft!
What happened this week was that my New Year's Resolution collieded with my crafting personality. And voila, I have a new motivational craft made out of leftover pasta sauch jars! While scanning Pinterest, I found a perfect use for the jars that mixes with a personal goal...
Motivational Marbles! So I decided to make my own set to motivate me to eat healthier and lose weight. Here's all you need to create your own motivational marbles glass duo.

[Update: Since adding my jars to the kitchen counter, I've unknowingly added built-in accountability from my 6-year-old. This morning he was excited to see 3 glass marbles added to the Pounds Lost jar. Later in the day, he asked why I hadn't lost any more pounds since the morning. At least he's watching and I wouldn't want to dissappoint!]
