DIY backsplash

1) materials: galvanized flashing, metal shears, a ruler, sharpie and GE silicone II clear sealant (not pictured)










2) carefully measure the area to be covered... divide that area by two (measuring from top to bottom - i.e., cabinet to counter), and using your sharpie, draw a line where the flashing needs to be cut (don't worry about leaving a mark because alcohol will take it right off)



3) apply sealant to edges of flashing and across the middle and press frimly against wall. use thumbtacks if necessary to hold in place and heavy duty magnets to seal edges together until dry















4) optional: use this functional little gadget to hide your middle seam

finished product:
