Penny tile is probably one of the easiest DIY backsplashes you can install. Its small size and relatively light weight make it fairly easy to cut and lay out on a wall. Plus, its eye-catching design is sure to become the focal point of your kitchen.  All you need is the penny tiles, some thin-set mortar, grout, and all of your usual tools. It's a great choice for novices looking to add just the right touch of flair to any kitchen.
