Back to School DIY with Michaels

I'm officially getting back in the school spirit.  I spent the day running errands and gathering Back to School supplies at all my favorite stores.  I'm thrilled to be teaming up with Michaels to create some Back to School DIY goodness.  

Also loving their BTS Pinterest Board!

What is #Create2Educate?

o #Create2Educate is a sweepstakes to keep you inspired all year long! Create an original

back-to-school project and upload a picture of it to Instagram, using #Create2Educate and #sweepstakes. While you’re there, tag @MichaelsStores too. The contest runs Friday, August 1 through Friday, August 15. A random winner will be selected daily and will receive a $50 gift card to Michaels. All entries will be shared on Michaels.com/Create2Educate.

How will Michaels choose a winner?

o Each day’s entries (4 p.m. to 4 p.m.) are gathered and a winner is selected randomly.

When does the contest begin and end?

o The contest begins on Friday, August 1 and runs through Friday, August 15. Entries

beyond this date will not be eligible to win.

What does the winner receive?

o Michaels chooses a daily winner, and the winner will receive a $50 Michaels gift card.

Can I enter more than once?

o Yes, entries are unlimited.

What must be included in my entry?

o Tag @MichaelsStores in a picture of an original and unique back-to-school project on

Instagram using #Create2Educate and #sweepstakes. If you don’t have an Instagram,

upload the photo of your creation to Michaels.com/Create2Educate.

I’m not a teacher, can I still enter?

o Absolutely! Teachers aren’t just in the classroom, anyone can be an educator.

Do I need to give permission for Michaels to share my project?

o Yes! A link is provided in Michaels Instagram account bio. You must follow the link and

complete the steps in order for Michaels to share your photo on

Michaels.com/create2educate and/or social channels.

I submitted my project and was directed to a link to grant permission. Does Michaels need my permission?

o In order to share your photo on Michaels.com/Create2Educate, you must grant Michaels permission to use that photo using the link in their Instagram profile. Once approved, you creation will be shared for all to see.

Do I have to use only supplies from Michaels?

o Where else would you find such a wide variety of supplies?

I entered my #Create2Educate project. Why don’t I see it on Michaels.com/Create2Educate? 

o Be sure that you’ve given permission to Michaels to share your unique project by

following the link in Michaels Instagram profile. Once your content has been approved,

it should be viewable on Michaels Create2Educate site.

Psst! I’ve been working on a little something to kick this school year off right and

@Michaels is helping me along the way! Want in? Get crafting! With the #create2educate #sweepstakes, who knows what your back-to-school creation will get you.
