Step #1 Open YouTube
Log into the YouTube account with the videos you want to add your subscribe button to.
Step #2 Click on Creator Studio
Click on the main drop down on the far right (with your avatar) and select "Creator Studio" from the drop down.
Step #3 Click on "Channel"
From the creator studio, navigate to the left side of the screen and select "Channel."
Step #4 Click on "Branding"
Step #5 Click on "Add Watermark"
Step #6 Upload Watermark
The file will need to meet the following criteria...
PNG or GIF format
Under 1 MB
When I first published this article, I thought that the image needed to have a ratio of 4:1 (example 800px by 200 px).
However, I've recently changed my own subscribe watermark to a square icon (you can copy and save the PNG below if you'd like).
You can find an image with a Google image search or you can create your own in a tool like Canva.
You should (technically) only use images that you have the rights to, so be careful not to copy images that aren't labeled for reuse. It is highly unlikely this will be an issue but I always recommend you err on the side of caution.
Here is an example of a 4:1 subscribe button (you can use it as well if you'd like).
Step #7 Choose Your Display Settings
You can set your video to appear...
At the end
During the entire video
After a certain duration of time
I like to have my water mark visible throughout the entire video.
Step #8 Wait 48 Hours and Test
For some reason, the water marks aren't instant. You'll need to come back in a few days to see if they are visible across your videos or not.

Whether you consider it an investment, a hobby or just a cool way to decorate the walls in your home, acquiring new art can be a fun and exhilarating experience. Although many people assume collecting art is only for millionaires, the truth is you can start your own art collection on any budget. You may not have the funds to fill it with famous pieces, but all that matters is that you fill it with pieces you love.
Know What You Like
First, only collect what you like, even if it's something obscure that others may not appreciate or understand. Unless you're just trying to make a quick buck — and that's often hard to do — putting together a collection won't be fun if you force yourself to choose items just because they're trendy. If you aren't sure what you love, go to the library and check out some art history books. Go to art galleries in your community, and check out the artisan booths at local fairs and festivals. Do a simple internet search, visit an antique store or flip through the art at your local craft store or big box store. Figure out what appeals to you, and use that as a starting point.
Know Where to Look
The next step is knowing where to find the art you like. Some of the places you visit to discover your taste may also sell the types of pieces you like. Craft fairs, festivals, antique shops and galleries are good examples, but you can shop for art at many other places, including estate sales, where you may find rare and unique pieces, and art websites like Etsy, ArtStar, Uprise Art and Editioned Art. Some artists allow you to visit their studios, and auction houses typically have art in their inventories. If you go to auctions outside of major cities, you may even find a rare piece at an excellent price.
Do Your Homework
Before you make a purchase, especially an expensive purchase, you want to do your homework on the artist, the item and its background before signing on the dotted line. In some cases, the seller may not realize the value of an item and sell it for a bargain price, but you don't want to pay too much for a piece, even if you love it. You also want to avoid buying something advertised as an authentic piece that is actually just a reproduction. Be on the lookout for fraudulent items, and learn how to read the documentation that verifies the authenticity and provenance of a piece of art.
Take It Slow
If you know your budget for starting an art collection, don't rush out and spend it all in one day. Don't expect to put together a huge, envious collection overnight. It takes time to curate the perfect collection for your interests, tastes and passions. For many art collectors, the hobby becomes a lifelong journey. You never know when a new artist you discover turns into a huge success, making that $100 painting you bought worth a small fortune — and bragging rights — one day. Starting slow also allows you to save up for the more expensive pieces you may want to buy one day.
Treat Your Art Well
Finally, after you purchase your first pieces, make sure you take care of them. Learn how to display and preserve everything you buy, and make sure you have plenty of space to keep your art. Sure, you could rent a storage building if you don't have enough room in your home for all your treasures, but what's the point in having an awesome collection if you can't show it off? If you acquire expensive pieces, insure them against theft and disasters. You may also want to make a plan for what happens to your art after you pass away. If you don't have family, you may want to donate art to a museum or charity, for example.
An ofrenda is an altar to remember and honour loved ones who have passed.
Traditionallyofrendas are colourful and decorative, laden with gifts to please returning spirit guests and adorned withorange marigolds, sugar skulls,candles andpapel picado banners. Offerings of food are also left on the altar. Some traditional offerings includefruit,hot chocolate,pan de muerto and a glass of water for the weary traveller.

We have put together a short photo tutorial (on you tubeHow to make an Ofrenda too) to show you how to make your own colourful Ofrenda. The photos come with clear and concise instructions showing how to prepare and assemble a mini ofrenda using Happythought'sDay of the Dead printable party kit.
You will need a ruler, scissors, a craft knife (optional), a glue stick and a butter knife (also optional!).
First score your sheets by running the back of the butter knife along the folds.
Next cut out all the elements of your Ofrenda. Use a craft knife for straight lines and scissors for curves.
Take Base 1A and Base 1B. Apply glue to light area on 1A and join together.
4 Apply glue to the corner joins and assemble.
Now take the 'Drape' apply glue on the reverse and attach to the Base.
Next take the Altar.
Apply glue to corner tabs and assemble.
Apply glue to tabs A & B and attach to the Base.
Take the Flower Arch apply glue and attach to the Top Altar.
Apply glue to side panels and assemble the Top Altar.
Glue and attach the Top Altar.

20 Easy and Quick Snack Ideas for People With Diabetes
Munch on healthy snacks to keep your energy high and your blood sugar levels stable all day long.
Reviewed:
Snacks aren't off-limits when you're living with diabetes.
Snacking often gets a bad rap. But if you are managing type 2 diabetes, including healthy snacks in your diet can be a great way to keep blood sugar levels in a healthy range and energy levels high. They can also be a great weight loss tool.
Now, with the risks of the novel coronavirus, which causes the disease COVID-19, it's more important than ever to take care of yourself. Indeed, people with diabetes are among the groups at a higher risk for complications from COVID-19, notes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The good news is that proper blood sugar management can help reduce those risks.
Snacking may seem like it would play a small part in this, but when planned wisely, it really can be a boon to your health. "Sometimes people think of snacks as an unhealthy thing, but [they] can be quite the opposite," says Kelly Kennedy, RD, staff nutritionist at Everyday Health. "Snacks provide another opportunity for nutrition, and with a small amount of carbohydrates (15 grams or less), [they] can help keep blood sugar levels steady throughout the day," Kennedy adds. Eating a healthy snack can also help keep hunger at bay until your next meal, which can ultimately prevent overeating and support any weight loss goals you may have.
RELATED:5 Diabetes Weight Loss Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
If you're managing diabetes, though, an important thing to keep in mind when snacking is your carb count. Carbohydrates are the nutrient in foods that are broken down into glucose, and they can have a significant impact on blood sugar levels, Kennedy says.
It's important to consider quantity and quality when it comes to carbs. Bingeing on carbohydrates or having too many simple carbohydrates at once can cause spikes in blood sugar, which in turn can increase the risk of diabetes complications like diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, heart disease, and stroke.
But, Kennedy points out, "This doesn't mean that you need to avoid carbohydrates completely." Instead, eat a healthy amount of good carbohydrates — such as those from fruits and vegetables, fat-free or low-fat dairy, and whole grains — including while snacking.
RELATED:How to Tell the Difference Between a Good Carb and a Bad Carb
Consider the other macronutrients of your snack, too. "Combining protein and healthy fats with complex carbohydrates is a great way to give your snacks staying power," says Erin Palinski-Wade, RD, CDCES, author of 2-Day Diabetes Diet, who is based in Hamburg, New Jersey. Nuts, nut butters, Greek yogurt, and low-fat cheeses, which are featured in several of the snacks below, offer both protein and fat for satisfaction and blood sugar control.
When it comes to lowering your risk for diabetes complications, maintaining a healthy weight and controlling blood sugar go hand in hand. After all, being overweight can contribute to insulin resistance, the hallmark of type 2 diabetes, according to the Obesity Action Coalition.
"People are often amazed at the changes they see with even a little weight loss," Kennedy says. Indeed, losing at least 5 to 7 percent of body weight can lead to improved insulin sensitivity and even help prevent prediabetes from progressing to full-blown type 2 diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
But how you choose to lose weight matters. Remember that a healthy diet that promotes gradual weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds per week is best, says the Mayo Clinic.
Unsure of which snacks are best for weight loss, improving blood sugar control, and boosting energy? Admittedly healthy choices can be challenging if you're unprepared or have only processed, packaged snacks that contain high levels of sugar, salt, and fat on hand.

Diabetes Diet Tips for The On The Go Eater

Sugar-Free Hot Cocoa Made With Dark Chocolate
361
A Combo of Baked Potato Chips and Salsa
If you want an easy-to-prepare, crunchy snack with delicious flavor, you will love this dynamite duo. According to the USDA, a ¼ cup serving of salsa, which has about 12 calories, combined with a 1-ounce (oz) serving of lower-fat baked potato chips can be the perfect combo to satisfy those afternoon cravings; plus, this crunchy snack is a good source of potassium.
As a bonus, the tomatoes and other veggies found in salsa are low in carbs (the salsa contains just 4 g per ¼ cup), making them another good choice for people with diabetes.
362
A Few Cups of Microwave or Air-Popped Popcorn
Popcorn is the king of comfort foods! But did you know that, according to the Oldways Whole Grains Council, it's a whole grain, too? Whole grains contain satiating fiber, which can help support a healthy weight, according to the Mayo Clinic. This high-fiber, crunchy snack tantalizes the taste buds as the kernels begin to pop. But be mindful of what you put on top. Select a low-fat variety of popcorn that can be microwaved or air-popped for just 6 g of carbs and 31 calories per cup, per the USDA.
363
Oatmeal and Berries of Your Choice
364
A Whole Grain Waffle With Yogurt and Cinnamon
This delicious pick is plenty filling and easy to grab on the go. Toast up one whole-grain frozen waffle for 90 calories and 17 g carbs, per the USDA. Top with 3 tablespoons (tbsp) of plain, low-fat Greek yogurt to add 3.5 g of protein. Greek yogurt contains more protein and fewer carbohydrates compared with traditional yogurt. Dust cinnamon, which is a healthy, natural sweetener, over the top for a quick 110 calorie snack. Or spread on some almond butter for a dose of healthy fats. One tbsp contains about 100 calories, per the USDA.
365
Thin, High-Fiber Wheat Crackers, Hummus, and Tomatoes
Hummus, a delicious, creamy, and flavorful spread traditionally made from chickpeas; tahini, a paste made from sesame seeds; and garlic, offers a nice combination of flavors and nutrients. Chickpeas, like other legumes, are high in fiber and are lower on the glycemic index, according to Harvard Medical School, making them a good choice to help manage blood sugar levels.
For a healthy snack, spread 1 to 2 tbsp of hummus evenly over 12 thin whole-grain crackers. Serve the crackers with two slices of firm red tomato for an extra vitamin boost — juicy tomatoes provide vitamin C.

Baked Cheese Crisps and Sliced Veggies
Select a great-tasting, low-calorie baked cheese crisp or cracker when you want a tasty snack. These are available in the snack aisle at the grocery store. A 1-oz serving from the brand Moon Cheese, which is made from 100 percent cheese, contains just 1 g of carbs.
This snack complements any sliced raw veggie, which is a naturally fat-free, low-cal snack. Cheese crisps taste delicious, for example, with a 1-cup serving of cool, crisp, and hydrating cucumber slices.
368
Crunchy, Sliced Peppers and Low-Fat Garden Dip
You can really indulge with this one! Slice 1 cup of sweet-tasting red bell peppers into strips for a crunchy snack, which, according to the USDA, contains more than 100 percent of the vitamin C you need in a day. Dunk them in ¼ cup of a creamy, low-fat garden vegetable dip to complete the snack.
You can buy a ready-made dip or make your own by mixing a prepackaged blend of seasonings with low-fat sour cream, low-fat cottage cheese, or plain low-fat Greek yogurt.
Any way you slice it, you'll enjoy the satisfying flavors in this good snack for people with diabetes.

369
Fresh, Lowfat Mozzarella and Juicy Tomatoes
"Fresh mozzarella and tomato is another good choice," says Palinski-Wade. When it comes to cheese, the ADA recommends eating reduced-fat or regular cheese in small amounts. One oz of fresh mozzarella supplies 6 g protein and 6 g fat (3.5 g saturated), according to the USDA. One cup of grape tomatoes has 8 g of carbs. Skip the dressing and opt for a drizzle of heart-healthy olive oil or balsamic vinegar and a dash of salt and pepper for flavor. In total, this snack is about 130 calories.
370
Calcium-Rich Nonfat Greek Yogurt With Fruit
A 1-cup container of plain nonfat yogurtwith some fresh fruit is a nearly perfect snack — it's a sweet treat that is also nourishing.
Yogurt provides a balanced intake of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, while the fruit adds disease-fighting antioxidants to your diet, according to the Mayo Clinic. Fruit is also a good source of heart-healthy and digestion-friendly fiber. If you haven't yet, try Greek yogurt, which has a satisfyingly rich texture and more protein than regular yogurt. One cup of Greek yogurt contains an impressive 24 g of protein, according to the USDA.
Yogurt is also a source of probiotics, which play a role in good gut health. A study published in January 2017 inAdvances in Nutrition suggested that combining fruit and yogurt enhances their benefits, since together they offer both probiotics as well as prebiotic fiber (which feeds the probiotics), a one-two punch that may aid in weight loss and improve heart health, making it an especially good snack specifically for those who have type 2 diabetes.
371
Heart-Healthy Avocado and Lime
One of Palinski-Wade's favorite go-to snacks is an avocado. Not only is this superfood one of the best sources of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats around, it's also a time-saving snack that's easy to slice and go. Avocado is packed with fiber, and though it's considered a fruit, it's a low-sugar option, making it ideal to incorporate in a diabetes diet, notes the American Diabetes Association (ADA).
Try topping your slices with a squeeze of lime juice and a bit of sea salt for extra flavor. It's important to remember that avocados are calorie-dense, so be aware of proper portion size. According to the USDA, a ½-cup portion (about ½ of an avocado) is a manageable 120 calories and, with 5 g of fiber (an excellent source), will keep you feeling full until your next meal.

372
Store-Bought or Homemade Sugar-Free Frozen Juice Bars
Cool your cravings with a sugar-free frozen fruit pop. This refreshing snack is perfect on a hot afternoon — or anytime, really!
Try a variety of fruit flavors to mix it up for your taste buds, and look for frozen juice bars that have 70 calories or fewer. One sugar-free pop has about 6 g of carbs according to the USDA, which fits into snack recommendations. (It's also sodium- and fat-free, to boot.) Or make your own ice pops by freezing 4 oz of unsweetened juice in molded containers and adding your own sticks, which also supplies 15 g of carbs.

373
Peanut Butter and Jelly on a Whole-Grain English Muffin
The good news about PB: Including it in your breakfast can help improve satiety, reduce hunger, and decrease after-meal glucose levels, according to a small, past study.
Spread 1 tbsp on ½ of a high-fiber, whole-grain English muffin for a wholesome, nourishing snack. One option, Natural Creamy Jif Peanut Butter Spread, roughly contains 85 calories, 8 g fat (including 1.75 g saturated fat), 4 g carbs, and 3.5 g protein. Meanwhile, one whole-grain English muffin from Thomas has an estimated 120 calories, 1 g fat (including 0.5 g saturated fat), 23 g carbs, and 5 g protein.
Top it off with 1 tbsp of sugar-free jelly for a PB&J that is not only satisfying but also good for you. Smucker's Sugar-Free Strawberry Preserves, for example, contains no fat or protein, and only 5 g carbs.
374
Sweet and Savory Pears and Prosciutto
Jennifer Shrodes, RD, CDCES, at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, recommends that people with diabetes prioritize blood sugar-friendly choices — and make them incredibly tasty. One classic protein-and-carb combo is ½ of a piece of fruit, like an apple or pear, with thinly sliced prosciutto, which is dry-cured ham.
Here's what you'll get from this fancy-feeling snack: Two thin slices of prosciutto contain 70 calories, 5 g fat (2 g saturated fat), 1 g carbs, and 8 g protein, according to the USDA. One-half of a juicy pear has 50 calories, no fat or protein, and about 14 g of carbs, per the USDA. (Vegetarian? Swap prosciutto for a string cheese.)
375
Refreshing Cantaloupe and Creamy Cottage Cheese
376
High-Protein, Low-Calorie Shrimp Cocktail
Fresh shrimp is an easy win for snacking to stabilize your blood sugar. Make sure that your shrimp is steamed, boiled, or sauteed, as eating fried shrimp will add unhealthy saturated fat. Eating fried seafood one or more times per week is also associated with a 14 percent increased risk for diabetes, according to a study published in March 2017 in the European Journal of Nutrition. Each shrimp with cocktail sauce equals 28 calories, 4 g protein, no fat, and 2 g carbohydrate, per the USDA.
Cocktail sauce will provide sodium. To reduce the salt in this snack, Palinski-Wade suggests enjoying the shrimp with fresh salsa or chopped tomatoes. Shrimp cocktail is a great pick if you're dining at a restaurant or ordering in and want a healthy appetizer that won't spike your blood sugar and send it crashing later.
377
A Couple of Dark Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
Strawberries are naturally fat-free, making them a healthy choice for diabetes, and they're also rich in vitamin C. One cup provides your entire DV of the vitamin, according to the USDA. Their sweetness when they're ripe makes this snack taste rich and decadent, too.
Dip these juicy fruits in creamy dark chocolate to create a thin coating. Dark chocolate has less added sugar compared with milk chocolate, notes the USDA. This added dimension of flavor will have you savoring each bite. Mind your portions: Three to four of these chocolate-covered berries have 13 g of carbs and 120 calories.
378
Sugar-Free Fruit-Flavored Gelatin Topped With Fat-Free Whipped Cream
A sparkling, fruit-flavored gelatin (go with ½ cup) topped with whipped cream is refreshing and pleasantly satisfying.
You can make this snack completely guilt-free by choosing a sugar-free gelatin — a snack-sized container of gelatin made with low-calorie sweetener contains 13 g of carbs for less than 60 calories, per the USDA. Top it with 1 tbsp of sugar-free whipped topping to add some sweetness for an additional 1 g of carbs.
RELATED:The Best and Worst Candy for People With Type 2 Diabetes
379
Fat-Free and Sugar-Free Frozen Yogurt With a Fruit Topping
Enjoy this cool, creamy, low-cal snack anytime — just be sure to stick to a ½-cup portion. One brand, Kemps, sells a vanilla version, which has 24 g of carbs and no added sugar, and is a good source of calcium for a 2/3-cup serving (180 mg, to be exact).
To add variety, try different flavors, and feel free to top the frozen yogurt with a few small berries or a teaspoon of chopped nuts — this will add even more flavor, texture, and nutrition.
