Tile Backsplash Ideas for Your Kitchen

For three great kitchen tile backsplash ideas that are unique and innovative, keep reading.
3-D Collage Backsplash
Did you know that you can use simple resin and catalyst, a popular art supply store material to create a 3-dimensional kitchen tile backsplash that holds all the items that are important to you?
Basically, resin begins as a liquid, allowing you to insert items, like family keepsakes, right into the tile. Then, the resin dries and hardens, leaving you with a hard and durable tile.
The easiest way to create resin tiles is to build a frame that can be fit over and removed from your plywood base. Once the frame is built, you pour the first layer of resin and insert your memento or items into the tile.
Then, after waiting a few hours, you pour the next layer. Then, after a few more hours, you pour the final layer. Typically, poured resin will take about 24 hours to fully dry and harden. At that point, you can remove the frame and install your tile.
A Magnetic Backsplash
An innovative idea for a kitchen tile backsplash is to simply make one from an old magnetic, dry erase board. Using a circular saw, you can cut the backsplash either into tile shapes or customize it to fit over your entire backsplash area perfectly.
Using construction adhesive, you can actually glue the magnetic dry erase board right to your kitchen wall. Once it's dry, you can customize it however you please with magnets, photos, family messages, recipes and more. The best part is you can change the look of your kitchen tile backsplash every day.
Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Mosaic
Using old plates or china picked up from flea markets, a touch of your design style and patience, you can make your own DIY mosaic.
Start by making a cardboard template of your backsplash area and draw your design on to it. Next, plan out your project by laying the snipped tile pieces on the cardboard. Once you're ready to affix the tile to the wall, put it on the backsplash using tile glue and making sure they're at least a quarter-inch apart.
Finally, wait at least 24 hours for the glue to dry on your customized kitchen tile backsplash. Once it's dry, spread your grout over all the tiling and allow it to set.
