The Best of the Best DIY YouTube Videos.

Many of us turn to Pintrest and Google for our DIY project ideas and instruction’s, but why not turn to YouTube for our tips and tricks. YouTube is known to have the best of the best when it comes to beauty and make up tutorials and reviews, but did we know that YouTube is also a great outlet for Do It Yourself Projects. I am going to show you a few of my favourite DIY Project tutorials.

The reason why I love to watch DIY Project videos is because the people in them really give us a lot of detail about how each thing is made, and really give a realistice idea around prices. My favourite youtube video happens to be the DIY- MAKE YOUR OWN ROOM DÉCOR by MissRemiAshten. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeoG8FGwwX8

Please feel free to follow the below link to watch this video. I mainly like this video because I found most of her projects easy to do. Which as a student who is on a low budget and has minimal free time,  that’s something I look for.  I feel like MissRemiAshten goes into so much detail and really guides her viewers on what she is doing. Her projects are very simiple and stick to a budget. She is not the only blogger who has DIY projects on their channel, there are TONS!!  All it takes is a simple youtube search a click on a link and their you have it.

So my dedicated DIY’ers I encourage you to go onto YouTube and find your favourite DIY Video and share it with me. Better yet get onto YouTube and make your own!! I would love to see your creative ideas come  to life, and I think other people will enjoy them to!!
