Cork Backsplash: Well, if you are a wine lover you may have these piled up. However if you don’t happen to love wine you can purchase Cork off of Amazon for around $15 per 100 corks. For this DIY cork backsplash the corks were sawn in half and cemented to a backboard. Check out this amazing cork backsplash that used 800 corks, which means 1600 cork halves.

Stone Backsplash: Home Depot and Lowes carry Peel and Stick Faux stone backsplash panels. Peel and stick panels are great for those who do not want to attempt grout and grout sealant. Measure your surface area before you attempt to start sticking away, you will need to pre-cut before starting. Local home improvement stores do carry panels of tile or stone that need to be grouted, take a close look at the label before you go home with the wrong stuff.

Flashing Backsplash: A very easy backsplash project that will cost you under $60, Aluminum Flashing. You can find Aluminum Flashing at almost every hardware store in an array of widths and finishes. Since the flashing is so thin and light weight you can directly adhere the flashing to the existing backsplash or wall and cut to size with a box cutter. Use an aluminum molding to tuck your edges in for a clean finishing edge. This project is fast, simple and budget friendly. Check out this transformation.

You don’t have to break the bank to get a great backsplash, just some creativity and time. Good luck to your future DIY kitchen backsplash.
