I honestly don't remember how I ever figured anything out before the days of YouTube. Based on the amount of time I spend there, I'm certain I've already accrued enough hours to receive my Masters Degree from YouTube University. (This does not exist.)

I can't help myself! The inspiration is just that good! Now that the holiday season is upon us, there are tons of videos bursting at the seams with seasonal DIYs, decor, table settings and everything in between. We sorted through them all to find you the best of the best.

Flat Christmas Tree

For those of you with a limited budget or a small space, you might want to consider a flat Christmas tree! These four DIY flat trees from HGTV Handmade can be made with items you likely already have around your house, and best of all - none of them will break the bank.

My favorites were a tie between the gorgeous washi tape/fringe trim Christmas tree that looks like something you might find in Anthropologie, and the wood grain tape/light tree that is decked out with all sorts of fun, soft ornaments.
