Ever since she started her YouTube channel in February 2015, she has become one of the most recognizable faces on social media and is best known for being one of the top five most followed DIYers on the internet thanks to her super eye-popping YouTube thumbnails. "I actually edit my thumbnails before I even edit my videos. It's one of things that I really think of right away." - Karina Garcia At first, Karina wasn't so sure about creating her own YouTube channel because she felt scared about having to face negative feedback. However, once she made up her mind and jumped straight into it, she loved it so much that she made it her hobby and started uploading every week. Her videos are all about empowering her viewers, especially kids, to create on their own terms. Now, she's the author of Karina Garcia's DIY Slime, a collection of 15 DIY slime recipes that will take you to slime heaven.
