User Generated Content, which includes millions of videos on YouTube, has revolutionized the world of DIY. You can learn how to fix, cook, build or destroy nearly anything by tapping into the collective knowledge of people who are willing to videotape themselves sharing that knowledge. This goes for creative projects as well. Now, if you want to learn how to knit a hat, you don’t have to seek out your grandmother or sign up for a class. Just look it up on YouTube from the comfort of your couch. (And by the way, knitting isn’t just for the ladies… “Real Men Knit” too.)

Once you start poking around, you’ll be surprised at what you can find. So if you have the urge to get creative, but don’t have the know-how, here are a few ideas to get you started. Keep in mind, for every one of these videos, there are many more (sometimes hundreds more) with different techniques and advice. The beauty of YouTube is that if you are confused by instructions on one video, keep clicking the related videos that pop up and you’ll be sure to find more info… and get sidetracked watching cute, puppy videos.

How to Draw

Want to take your doodles to the next level? There are thousands of videos on YouTube with step-by-step instructions on how to draw practically anything with all sorts of drawing materials. And if you truly don’t have the talent for it, don’t give up. You can fake it in Photoshop.

Silkscreen your own T-Shirt

Now that you’ve learned to draw (or successfully faked it), you’ll want to share it with the world. And what better way than wear it? You can take any picture you create and silkscreen it onto a shirt, bag, jacket, your shower curtain… the possibilities are endless. And since we’re Best Buy, we’re sharing a tutorial from the fine folks at MAKE, who added in a little technology for fun.

The Art of the Latte

Many struggling artists can be found grinding beans and steaming milk at your local coffee shop. Some of them have put their creativity to work, and are probably earning some serious tips.

How to Play Guitar

There’s no denying that playing the guitar is cool. But playing the guitar badly? Not so much. So if you’re a beginner and want to learn the basics, or you know the basics, but want to learn that specific song that’s been running through your head, there are hundreds of videos out there that will teach you note-by-note.

Learn Origami

The ancient Japanese art of folding paper is almost impossible to learn from a book. The best way to learn, and how it’s been passed down since the 17th Century, is to have someone show you. Luckily, there are plenty of talented people creating videos to help keep this traditional art alive.

Stop Motion Animation

If you want to bring your Origami Crane to life, try creating a Stop Motion Animation movie. It’s actually not that difficult to do, it just takes time and patience.

Some of the coolest stop motion animations are made with Legos, commonly referred to as “brick films.” You don’t need any fancy equipment or programs to create Stop Motion Animation. All you need is a digital camera and a basic editing program, like Windows Movie Maker, and a little imagination.
