love the glass idea. covered my island with s sheet of glass. several years ago i needed an inexpensive backsplash but wanted the look of stainless steel. hated grout so i ended up using roof flashing. comes in a roll and you can find it in any home supply store like home depot or lowes. there is also copper. cleans up just like stainless and so far have found nothing i want to replace it with.
I like the glass idea!! WOW MY BRAIN IS LITERALLY POPPING WITH IDEAS.....think about it.....picture a huge fish tank and putting in the cool background ...most use the typical coral reef and blue/greenish water scenes... imagine if you install the glass backsplash in such a way that you literally can change whenever you’re bored!!
Inexpensive DIY "hire a custom glass company to come in, measure, cut, install and grout the glass for you" yeah, *that's* not going to be expensive. And I guess the DIY part is where you dial in the phone.
Hahaha
Yeah, and then the earthquake comes.
glass in general seems scary. but i want to do pictures what else could i use?
You are funny!
Love the caps
Like all of them i love the glass cos you can put pictures photos material wall paper lots of choice .thank you very inspireing x
I made a kitchen backsplash out of old wooden blinds. Turned out amazing.
Need to see that...I looking for cheap ideas
I love creative people. He came up with great ideas.
You can also use plexiglass. Works the same as glass.
I love the bottle cap idea!
The Creative Lady® Until you wash the wall, the bottle caps will look good. Eventually they scratch.
I wonder if the grout makes them flush? If I ever try this, I'd probably use a rubber mallet to pound out the sharp edges. I would not like getting scratched, lol.
Kim Roberts or rust
The Creative Lady® I think I'll just use like a few lines of the bottle caps between some cheap tiles for a backsplash instead of doing the whole thing ....
How to make a handy towel
Great idea! Bottle caps are a winner!! 👍💖👍
Best ever No-backsplash back splash is a piece of quarter inch thick cut to size mirror!!!! super easy to clean, doubles the visual space, just call glass supplier, give measurements, have them "EDGE" the glass, bring it home, apply caulk and hang. in China, a mirror in the kitchen is good luck.
or go to the dollar store and get 40 mirrors in a frame or just frames and glass and use those for your back splash. Have to cut for plugs though,,,,and you CAN sand smooth glass.
I faked a window that way in my living room. Works great! Just glued 12
to mdf board.
Lowes will cut mirror to size up to 30 X 36.
Judging from how dirty the mirror behind my bathroom sink gets in a week, no thanks. A mirror behind your kitchen sink and stove sounds like a nightmare
@@bunchalotta Easier to clean than spending 6 hours scrubbing grease off of paint behind the stove with hot water and vinegar.
Cement board great idea and can color, seal and stain in a variety of ways
The bottle caps will make a very interesting grease sponge.
Great ideas! The bottle caps were crazy cool!
That cement board can also be stained or stenciled before sealing to add some color or pattern.
I need more info on how to use the cement board. Where can I find someone who know about how to best utilize it?
I love the bottle cap idea.
Can you please provide more details on process for cement board.
Another follow up video for cement board.
I liked the modern look of it.
How does it hold up to rigorous grease cleaning, water and so forth.
Thank you.
i like the glass idea but how dio you secure the glass onto the wall?
Acrylic sheeting may be easier to work with than glass
I guess their idea of "inexpensive" is not the same as mine. LOL.
I'm not a fan of MDF-- it does not handle moisture well. You'd be better off using pressure treated plywood, greenboard, or something designed to be water resistant.
Glass for a backsplash should probably be tempered.
Plexiglass (acrylic) can be used instead, but it can yellow over time and scratches easily.
Here are a few suggestions:
1. Shelf paper/lining with a coat of polyurethane over it- You can find different patterns/colors. If it is already waterproof you may not even need to use poly.
2. Self adhering vinyl floor tiles (if you want a tall backsplash). Just use a little extra 3M spray adhesive.
3. A 1x6 pine board primed and painted. You can paint patterns or just go with solid color.
4. Foil tape (if you want a metallic look). Prices vary but some of it is inexpensive.
And tempered glass is so fun when you crash into into! Or try cutting it.
He only used the MDF to show here. He said you should glue the bottle caps directly to the wall when you DIY.
Although, pressure treated wood should not be used indoors.
@@terretulsiak Are you regularly hosting roller derby in your kitchen?
@@pvir9902 Ah, my landlord would love that.
Beautiful hair!! ♥️
Sheet metal is a good idea for a industrial look
can someone elaborate a little bit more on the bottle cap idea? I think it looks beautiful but I just don't know exactly how after putting that stuff in the bottle caps do the rest of the project. thank you
Caroline B Grout is the tan stuff that you see between and around the bottle caps. It comes in many different colors to match whatever tiles are being installed. It's a mixture used to seal the spaces between tile. When tile is installed, it's installed loose, just cemented to the wall, then grout is put on to seal and bond everything together. It dries hard like cement. You could probably get more information on it in a home improvement store.
Caroline B you have a board a silicon and caps .you stick caps to board by using silicon then prepere a grouting what you can make yourself from pack mixing thing or buy ready made in plastic containers (save you money come I. Smalley boxes or tu es even gór repairs) .you feel up gaps and level grout with some leveling sipper what is plastic handle with rubber end ....rubber wippping grout and don't let him stick to it .You can use also metal one but for metal all stuck and is Holly mess.
You wait 24 h usually and then you take dump cloth or sponge and wipe off excess from your caps . Then you need seal the grout by using some hardener and a plique according to instruction to grout ....that seal it from dirt and you can wipe it later when using with detergent or I use steam to wipe them all and ones a month steam a grout to clean them perfectly .
It can be great fun on last stage for kids to make all this little sparkly bit to shine hahaha. .. I make with my dad flour in our bathroom from lively mosaic in aqua blue haha haha 30 years later are shiny like before .
You can make the same technique with colourful glas beads or Italian mosaic on tables and coffee tables .
Would be a nightmare to clean that one
@@swordscot Ikr? Get out the mini electronic hand scrubber and industrial strength grout cleaner. That's about the only thing that gets grout clean.
Love this idea! I'm doing this in my laundry room
I’m thinking about using candle jar lids, anyone out there do it?
THIS PROGRAM IS SO FUNNY, ESPECIALLY WHEN I KNOW THE TWO OF YOU. THIS IS REAL. GO GIRLS.
such a cool idea
hate my backsplash-can i place somthing(?) over it-or does it have to be ripped off ? worried about wall damage-
Good tip's, Thank you!!
wow the cork one was sooooo good
Instead of 'custom glass' you can apply epoxy over the wallpaper but it wont be removable for sure
How do you seal the fourth option in the video
Do you have a diy for renters who want to put paper on thier kitchen cabinet doors
Removeable wallpaper would work for that. I had a roommate that did that to cabinet doors in the kitchen to brighten up the place. Removeable wallpaper seems really expensive to me so that's why I'm here looking for ideas that are cheaper. It's possible removeable cabinet drawer paper would work, too. I don't know if that is less expensive.
How is having a GLASS company make you custom glass template CHEAP ?
Thank you for sharing 👍
waw i love the first idea bravo
instead of glass, why not just use some of the nice and heavy duty pixie glass that they also have at Home Depot! I LOVE using pixie glass for DIY art projects, and if you want a random size that they don't already sell they'll cut it for you there at Home Depot. Pixie glass is just so much more durable, cheaper, a Lot easier to replace and not as dangerous ( if you have to worry about kids runnung around or people bumping into it). It's alsl not as big of a deal if someone (or you ) happen to break it while you're trying to take it down to switch out whatever you're displaying behind it! :) ☆just a lil different material * idea * ta maybe play around with & consider☆
xxo ♡ xxo
Plexiglass?
Plexi tends to discolor over time (turns yellowish). Although, glass is actually viscous so it flows (very slowly) over time and will become thicker at the bottom eventually. The glass would have to be tempered for safety reasons.
LOL autocorrect?
What's "pixie glass"? I've never heard of it and I've done just about every diy craft and project out there.
plexi?
I didn’t understand anything they were trying to show here.
Anybody could come up with beautiful colors it's how you apply it that we need to know
I like it!
What is the meaning of DIY?
Didn't they say inexpensive? Sooooooooo how inexpensive is the custom glass company and how is that a diy? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Catherine Ekoue did you get an answer?
I did the same thing using a large frame. I was in a rental apartment and I just stuck a large, cheap frame up behind there with a picture that I liked in it. I got a lot of compliments.
Use the lense for those light fixtures that he said not to use.
You score and snap, not cut as he was trying to do.
Throw an LED light strip down one edge of the cut lense and boom! ambiance.
Invite me over for beer when you're done. I like Stella Artois, Alexander Keith's, MGD, and Sapporo.
Do you think you could use the cement board idea but make it an easy concrete countertop instead?
Jessica Yager I was thinking the same thing, but he didn't say what he used as a sealer.
I would assume grout sealer.
Well you can sort of it's got a grain and doesn't cut smooth,,,but you could. Do a light skim coat with concrete resurfacer. Then just lightly sand and seal. You cannot acid stain but you can tint the cement or use water based stains like smith paints. Then seal
newlife atlast maybe an acrylic sealer
What's his youtube channel name ? Anybody plz ?
I have cut the "diy don't" many times without any problem using the plexiglass cutter at Lowe's Home Improvement. You could also cut it very easily with an oscillating cutter without it cracking.
Mark Taylor not in the kitchen as is plastic them melting température are low and are toxic no matter heated or melt . It's logic and chemistry not a designer thing ....SAFETY FIRST
Huh? My point was that a drop ceiling light lens can be cut easily without cracking at Lowes using their plexiglass cutter. I never suggested where it could or couldn't be used. Your point is irrelevant. But to your point plexiglass can be used as a backsplash except of course behind the stove which goes without saying. The only other danger to using plexiglass as a backsplash could be if flames come out of your sink faucet instead of water.
Ewa N
💁Not Necessarily, Ewa. I Disagree. Behind The Kitchen Sink Would Be A Great Place To Use 'PLASTIC' w/No Worries. "SAFETY~FREE", If You Will. I'l Can't Imagine A QUALIFIED, TOP PROFESSIONAL DESIGNER Coming On To The Show w/Out Doing His Homework, Dotting All His I's & Crossing All His T's😉 Colleen*
Mark Taylor 🙆Uggggh! I've Had It w/Those Damn Faucet🔥Flames!!!! I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS😫❗❗❗❗
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
yeah i think claiming that you drank the beers for the backsplash lol
Just do your homework to know which beers have twistable caps.
واو من وين احصله
Maybe he thought he was gonna be on Martha Stewart. Lol
He wasn't ready at all!
Backsplash options.... yes, that's my obsession for the month. Researching them and researching them. It keeps me up every night thinking. Thinking about my options for backsplashes. When I do sleep, I dream about.......
Someone splashing my back, ....but it was optional.
Oh noes. I wonder if this hostess suffers as much as I.
Inexpensive??
MDF as a backsplash? It'll look pretty for a while, but the water is going to break it down. I wouldn't suggest using this behind the kitchen sink, although it could work in other areas of the kitchen.
The mdf board was just for his display... He says to glue the bottle caps directly to your wall and grout around them. He doesn't say to mount it all on to mdf board.
she is so pretty
music box IKR..... I swore it was Venus Williams (((:
Nicole Niccii253 yes I can see that
music box i
😂😂😂
or lay the caps top down and pour concrete around them.
What’s the opposite of blown away? Cus that’s what I am
runtheroad3 well the technical term for that is sucked near.
Wow.! That had to be the least informative instructive DIY video ever.! Don't give up the day job.!
Yes, EXACTLY.
The hosts can install their DIY backsplashes when they're out of work, as they suggested in their own video.
it is 1:43am on a Wednesday, what am I watching
KittyMelon 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm no stranger to those times either! Cracked me up! 😂😂
Cool but how is hiring a custom glass company to come in and have a piece of glass custom-made DIY or cheap?
OMG cleaning these would be a nightmare!!!
Can you make one of an owl?
Nice To See The Fails... He's A Generous Teacher .
hubbie loves his beer!
waste of my time to view. taught us nothing
1000% agreed!!!!!!!!! UGH...time consuming and UGLY!
The bottle cap segment is brilliant DIY satire. Love the guy`s mumbled answer, incomplete instructions and irrelevant visual aid. Then the nice interviewer pretends to understand his incomplete answer to her question. I love it!
cool ideas :) liked👍👍
Whoops, I fell for this clickbait title. Yeah...not DIY for an apartment where it needs to be temporary and cannot make holes in anything. I'm just trying to prevent grease splatter from sticking to the paint behind the stove. I think I'll just tape up a sheet of parchment paper or aluminum foil and pray that grease will somewhat stick to it because temporary wallpaper is really expensive.
Click-bate! None of them are the initial screenshot which is why I clicked on this 😐
Tile board for a backsplash???
Wow
Glass is horrid to keep clean!
2007 compass automatic transmission dipstick
I have NO IDEA what he said he put bottle caps on i went back a load of times and don't know what he said it sounds like he said MDF? What is that?
Terrible idea! NO! If you want the bottle caps just pour concrete (the kind for countertops) to fill into the spaces between the bottle caps. MDF is compressed wood 'product' which swells and molds when wet- even from condensation or humidity. Plus it absorbs water from the grout, which will make it crack. (the grout)
The MDF was for demonstration only. He said to apply silicone to the back of the caps and stick them right on the wall
@@PennyDeFelippo Gawd. Could you imagine scrubbing grease splatter in between the caps?
DIY, hire a custom glass company!
Beth Ann 😂
"inexpensive" LOL!!!
Beth Ann. "That's very smart"
Beth Ann that bottle cap is to much work
I bought a glass cutter from Michaels 😀
what was the "board" he put the bottle caps on? he said it so fast. As for the caps being scratched there must be a finish to put on them. I have a lot of walls in the kitchen so this project would take me months.
Utoober729 He said he used mdf board.
Utoober729 Ive been trying to find bottle caps. He said $1.50 for about 400.... No, I've been everywhere and they are not cheap at all. Anyone find them cheap?
DesignerDiamond Kisses
not 400 but pretty cheap
www.bulkapothecary.com/product/make-it/beer-making/bottling/silver-crown-caps-with-oxy-liner/
Utoober729 bulk zone and wine beer maker places.
Utoober729 the board he used is called an "mdf board."
Ridiculous options! Sticking 1-inch diameter bottle cops along a back splash of a 10 x 12 kitchen - about 240 square feet to cover and about two thousand five hundred bottle caps - Yikes! Worse yet, he mounts them on MDF! Just Great for wet locations, right? Don't let this guy anywhere near your kitchen!
Watch the video again. 1. The bottle caps get mounted directly to your wall in a real life situation, and then are grouted; 2. The MDF was only used for his demo!
OK, he uses grout to adhere them to drywall, then grouts them n place.
Count the caps (143 in that finished piece) and price a gross ($8 on Amazon), then calculate (3/8" dab) the sealant required for 144 caps at $6.70 + Ship (Amazon) and, then the extraordinary amount of grouting requires (No 1/16th inch grout line here) and you will have spent have again as much for this 'look' as if you simply purchased 12 x 12 metallic tile sheets instead - Splashback Tile Silver Penny Round 12 in. x 12 in. x 8 mm Stainless Steel Metal Floor and Wall Tile $16.99 SqFT (Home Depot) vs. $14.70 for the glue on your own bottle cap route.
Notice that O's fave Contractor brought on sample on MDF (not a square of Drywall), the he built while the MDF laid flat on a table - no gravity to deal with.
A year later..useless. The main purpose of a backsplash is the cleanability of it. You know, cleaning what was 'splashed' on it.
Durp.
Does anyone else think he resembles R.Reynolds a bit?
Lyon Still yes!!
Lyon Still
No, but we wouldn't mind him showing off his naked ass like Ryan manages to do in all of his movies.
Cool
Glass is a terrible idea. The glass would need to be tempered. Not a cheap or diy. The bottle caps seem ok if you want gigantic grout lines. cementboard is fine as long as don't mind ugly joints.
MDF is a terrible idea for a back splash. MDF will absorb water like a sponge and will swell accordingly. So you sealed the cement board but not the MDF? Wow. Anyway. Getting a clean cut on cement board is near impossible. Don't use this for a back splash. This guy may be showing you things that look neat. But he has no idea hat he is talking about. Trust me.
I think he said "I just put it on MDF but I would put it directly on wall".
Big boss kitchen
The bottle covers was the best. The host lady was a bit too interfering.
These people are sooo out of touch what diy and cost is smh
I'd go more fore the $ Store bag of Stones in stead of bottle caps.
Sorry but this did not blow my mind at all!
Lol..right...
Oh it blew my mind that this hideousness is here..and it is no DIY.
click bait
"DIDON'T"...wouldn't that be "Do It Don't"? I'd think "Don't DIY" would make more sense, but apparently talk show hosts don't think their banter out beforehand.
Why is there so much clapping? For fucks sake these people are too easily entertained.
...classy.
I had to just read the comments. Lol this is the least informative design video I’ve ever watched.
Same here. Having a nice guffaw. My fault for not adding 'practical' to the search terms, I guess.
I see a hotplate !!
Cute
He's her best girlfriend.
What the heck is mdf??!!
"So much less expensive". English!
SAY IT
Wow! I was soooo not blown away. But then, I'm not American.
waste of time!
Did Oprah travel back in time to the future?
MDF- I hate it.
