Tile backsplash when there is existing countertop backsplash
We are thinking about how to add a backsplash to our kitchen. Unfortunately when we had our countertops installed we ordered a small backsplash that comes part way up... See more
Go into a Home Depot or Lowe's and ask questions in the kitchen department. There are several temporary answers for your backsplash that are very attractive.
Yes you can. If you are determined to use the paper....use temporary spray adhesive on the tile and apply the paper. Then all you have to do is peel it off and wash off the adhesive. Another option is to use fabric and liquid starch. Soak the fabric in the starch, wring it out and apply to the backsplash. It will peel off easily and just wash the starch off.
Since you mentioned living in quarters I assume that you are military? I was a military wife for 22 years and moved many times. When living on posts everyone's quarters looked the same and were all painted the same. I wanted ours to look different. I cut printed sheets to fit my bathroom walls. I applied them to the wall by soaking the material in a bucket of liquid starch and pressed out any wrinkles as I worked from top to bottom. Although very messy during the application it made a world of difference to the room. I then bought towels and shower curtains to coordinate with the colors in the print. When moving day came around I just pulled the edge of the material and they neatly came off the wall leaving nice clean walls for inspection. Many times I was able to recut the material to use at our next destination. I don't know why you couldn't use this same method in your kitchen but you would most likely have to take it down more often to wash. Good luck!
No but they do kitchen decals or even strippable wall paper with a clear coat on top.
This should put a smile on your face.... https://www.amazon.com/Kaimao-Romantic-Backsplash-Removable-Wallpapers/dp/B01NBA9WRN/ref=sr_1_30?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1505014209&sr=1-30&keywords=peel%2Band%2Bstick%2Bflower%2Bbacksplash&th=1

You sure can do this with the wrapping paper, but it might be a job to get the paste or adhesive off, but if it is a small enough area it won't be too much work. I did this many years ago, making a bow from wrapping paper in my d.r. This pic is of a border made of the same paper as the bow. If I wanted to remove this I would take a big sponge watered and with soap on it, and just rub it off. I think it would be easier to put the adhesive of whatever kind on the paper itself, like wall paper. It could be tricky to handle and you might need to patch it a little. But it would work
