You can learn how to do just about anything on YouTube, from web design to photography, from electronics to drawing comics. And learning how to craft is certainly no exception.

There's a wide variety of crafting tutorials on YouTube, and some great channels dedicated to paper crafting, jewelry making, general DIY projects, and more.

We've put together a list of channels which will have you hitting the subscribe button so you can keep up with their tutorials. With a few exceptions, most of these channels use basic materials, many of which you might already have in your home, or that are available at a reasonable price online.

Card Making

When it comes to card making, there is an incredibly vibrant community on YouTube sharing extremely detailed and well put together videos. They use a huge variety of tools and products, and walk you through how to use them. They also often offer ideas for alternative ways you can achieve the same end results using different products.

That said, of all the channels listed here, these card-making channels will require a bit of investment in the tools and products that are used. A lot of their cards are made using die-cutting machines, stamps, and a variety of dye and pigment inks, and markers, so be warned, watching these videos might result in the purchase of lots of new tools.

These are three of the most popular and talented card makers sharing tutorials on YouTube, with one video to get you started with each of their channels.
