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.

I love your tiles. They are gorgeous. Can you post the purchase link here?

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

Wait a second, is that adhesive paper is real? Holy moly I didn’t know this could have been done. Interesting, I really love this video. Lots of ideas but I wonder if it holds or last as long as doing the mortar

[carolinedelosso]

I watched this a lot of times - haha it looks so good!!! Nice work

[nannem]

Great job cutting and fitting the tiles, but if you're going through all that work, why not use mastic to properly stick them to the walls?

[amandakelland]

Omg you made that look really easy. I want to done my kitchen, never done before 🤦‍♀️

[Tri-valleyrealtor]

Looks great! I wonder what would the difference between peel and stick vs no peel title work?

[SharronHarding]

Please tell me the color tile you are using and where did you buy it at? Great

[storytimereadaloud]

Great work. May I ask what color subway tile you used. White or light grey?

[snnamagh]

Like many things in reno there is no one-solution for all. adhesive mats for backsplash are not meant for heavy and large tile installation and also you pay the price for the convenient installation upfront

[EllaTowers]

Amazing work! Where is the stove from?

[TianaSledge]

[antoinettedavis]

What is the longevity of sticking power of adhesive pads?

[marhigson]

Tile adhesive on a roll? Didn’t know it was a thing.
Wonder if you can get it in the uk

[tellis]

Is the adhesive durable….. have any tiles fell off?
