How to DIY Your Backsplash (I promise it’s easier than you think 😉)

1. Make sure your wall is flat and smooth-ish
2. Remove all outlet covers + pull plugs away from the wall
3. Apply MusselBound tile adhesive mat to the wall. It’s basically like a double sided sticky tape that replaced thin set 🙌🏼
4. Pull back the MusselBound paper and stick your tiles to the wall
5. Use a manual tile snapper or a wet saw to make your cuts
6. Grout the tile
VOILÀ 🤌🏼
Easy peasy! Follow along with me @comestayawhile to learn how to DIY your home on a budget! Do you feel like tile is something you could tackle now!? The whole project is saved to my Instagram highlights 👏🏼

    I love this. Good work. I show my dad these videos. He's a the guy. Done tile his whole life. He says that when ppl use that paper to stick the tile to, it will last for a while and eventually fall off. He has lots of experience with the stuff. Says it will last for a while but never lasts like doing it with thinset.

    With wet adhesive you can move the tile into into its final position. With the adhesive paper you have to peel tile off and try again weakening the adhesive. Tiling can be a bit messy, you just have to do it in stages and clean up as you go

    There's a reason you don't use adhesive paper for backing. If you look, the tiles are wonky. That's becsuse the cement you would normally use acts as a leveler. Walls are never straight. This is good for someone whos not fussed about finish however. Hats off to you.
