#Create2Educate by Michaels

I was thrilled when Michaels contacted me to be part of their #Create2Educate BTS Campaign!
You know I’m a crafty girl!

 I created this “skirt” with ribbon and tried it first on my desk…I LOVED how it turned out, but everyone kept saying they liked my desk how it already is…

(but if you have a desk that you are less than thrilled with, I recommend trying a ribbon skirt to brighten it up!)

 So then I tried it around my loft area, which really has needed a change.

 Bingo!

 Ignore my not finished FOCUS bulletin board!

To create my ribbon skirt, first stop…Michaels!

And then…

(You could also use Heat’n Bond Iron on Adhesive Tape to attach the ribbons if you don’t sew.)
Go right now to Michaels and create your own Back-to-School project and upload it to Instagram using #Create2Educate AND #sweepstakes for a chance to win a $50 gift card to Michaels!!  You have from now until August 15th to post your photos!

You can see photos of projects already shared {here} at Michaels.com!
