Each year, more than 300 volunteers from across the country gather in Washington, DC, to decorate the White House. And each year they pull off whimsically amazing holiday decorating ideas, captured by HGTV in the annual White House Christmas special. We're talking DIY projects from your favorite Instagram creators you can try at home: family portrait ornaments, storytime ornaments, sugar plum-inspired holiday apples, advent calendar garland (!) and more.

This year's creators include Lauren Beavers (@HandmakesHome), Anita Yokota (@AnitaYokota), Kelly Mindell (@Studio DIY), Vanessa Bahena (@FirstGenHouse), Charlotte Smith (@atCshouse), Yuni Min (@LoveYourAbode), Dennis and Andrew Setteducati (@CraftyLumberjacks), Sarah Fogle (@UglyDucklingDIY), Kelly Marcelo (@KellMarcel), Brittany W. Jepsen (@HouseLarsBuilt), Marite Espinoza Sanchez (@Maritedoesit) and Beth Kingston (@TheKingstonHome).

Check out some of their re-creatable DIY projects below.
