How do you use spacers when installing wavy backsplash tile?

I am going to install 3x6 glass subway tiles for a kitchen backsplash. This style design has uneven, "wavy" edges all around … so how do you use spacers w/this style tile? This will be my first time putting up tiles, and I'm not terribly "comfortable" eyeing it! Thank you.

Use straight lines. Find out how to square a run and continue square. Spacers would be a waste of time here, even though a might be possible. Straight lines and nice layout and you are there.
Remember usually the whole job will square off just one line, an outside wall is more than likely a better choice to start with.
Hello there,
Draw lines on the wall and install tiles along the lines and fill in the gaps with Grout.
You just line the first one up with a level. The plastic spacers, snug up on the wall next to the first tile. To use them, you place spacers at each corner of your tiles as you’re laying them down, and you push the tiles together until the spacer is contacting each corner. They’re removed shortly after you finish the tile installation and can usually be reused in a future project.
Hello, hope this helps you.
