When I saw this book, I just knew I had to check it out! Fabric is one of my favorite mediums when it comes to crafting. I love sewing and quilting, but I know many of you do not have the time, equipment, or patience to sew toys let alone let the kids participate. If you want to make great fabric crafts and gifts for and with your kidsm without worrying about needing a sewing machine or a needle and thread, check out this fun book.

Thanks to everyone who sent in their bottle cap crafts. There was a nice variety of ideas submitted:

• Bottle Cap Brooch Craft submitted by Christina Panczyk
  
• Bottle Cap Game Pieces submitted by Nechama
  
• Bottle Cap Lamp Shade Craft submitted by Erica Kuntz
  
• Bottle Cap Boot Scraper submitted by Patience and Rhea
  
• More Bottle Cap Crafts
  

If you have a bottle cap craft idea, you can submit it. You can also still submit crafts made using past Make-It-Over Craft Challenge items.

Now, onto this week's Make-It-Over Monday Craft Challenge Item! Actually, I think we will start off by making this craft challenge last for 2 weeks, since that seems to be what many people respond to. This week's item is a clothespin.

Your project can use one or more clothespins. It can also use spring-type clothespins like those pictured here, or your project can one piece clothespins without the spring.

You can share your simple ideas and tips using the comments feature on this blog post, but to get your project possibly featured in the next Make-It-Over Monday blog post, please submit it using this simple form. If you make the project you are submitting, take a picture of it and submit the photo. Some of the submitted ideas will be shared in the next Make-It-Over Monday blog post. Preference will be given to those projects that are submitted with photos. You can look through projects submitted for past challenges if you want some inspiration.

If you have questions or comments about this craft challenge, use the comment feature below. Suggestions regarding this feature? Again, use the comments feature to post your suggestions; and, thanks for playing along. If you want a reminder when Make-It-Over challenges are posted, sign up for the Family Crafts newsletter.
