Quick Tip from an old man! Use poster board on those hard-to-cut tiles. Mark it. Cut it out, Then try it to see if it fits. If it doesn't, just use small pieces of the leftover poster board to fill in your mistakes and tape them to the first piece you used. Once your collection of cutouts fits, just lay it on top of your tile and mark and cut it out. Poster board is MUCH cheaper than tile and by adding pieces to your original attempt, you will end up with the proper pattern. Another trick is to leave on your baseboard molding and use an oscillating saw laid on top of one of your new pieces of tile to undercut the molding. This works great on the door frame, too. Then, you can just slide your tile under the moldings and frame . That's how the pros do it.

Your floor looks great. Every mistake you make is a 'What not to do' moment. Don't be ashamed of your mistakes. You did an amazing job.

I'm not sure how I came across your video, but I decided to watch it. You did a very good job. I'm a licensed contractor and I do a ton of flooring. I was impressed with your determination to make it work. I especially liked your comment about wasting a bunch of tiles trying to make a cut work out for you, 😆. Trust me, you are not the only one who does that. Even the most experienced of us do the same. I did find your video VERY entertaining. I gotta admit, I was really laughing at your expense watching you struggle. I do the same thing with my helpers when they are new. I know it's bad, but, still. But I was impressed that you did not give up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always tell my helpers, if you are attempting to make tricky cuts using a tape measure, you are going about it the wrong way because the walls are never straight and angles are never true. I'm sure you figured that out. I just use a straight edge ( or whatever works) along the walls to draw projection lines, this will account for any walls or angles that are not true. But because you had the determination to get it done, you succeeded and that's all it takes. Next time you do it, you will be better than before. Keep at it and soon you will be a pro.

YOU get a Gold Star ⭐️! I a 66 year old woman just now learning how to make as many home repairs as I can! You are an inspiration! I feel sooo much better knowing I am not the only who may go the long route to complete my jobs BUT they do get completed! That gives me great joy. Oh, I loved your tile template solution in the end!!!! Just perfect!!! ❤️

That was a very tricky installation Your perseverance was admirable. I sat here yelling at the TV “Make a paper pattern of the tricky areas!” I was so relieved when you did just that! Great job.

Making a paper template for tile is an olllld trick of the trade. BIG points to you for figuring it out! You did an awesome job. Especially around the toilet! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

On the one hand, super ingenious idea to use grout on vinyl tiles to make them look like real tile as well as add some dimension to the floor. On the other hand, I wonder how the grout (which is hard) will hold up to the soft tile that is made to flex. If there are any issues, you can always use blue painters tape to mask and then apply colored silicone to get a similar effect.

I’m really impressed. You didn’t give up and it turned out great!

Online Home Depot employee I appreciate your patience you did an amazing job

Hard work and persistence. You have what it takes. Thanks for the video!

Im so glad u figured out that corner issue, now i feel like i can do it too...i definitely will be using that trick!! great job!!!

Way to go Bethany! Girl power to boot. Its great to see what a lot of us have gone through at one time or another with DIY projects. We learn by doing. Keep shining on sunshine. 🌞💚🇨🇦

You did that WITH NAILS ON 💅🏼💅🏼🤩😍✨✨✨

You did a great job! I was rooting for you in the end lol. I’ll be sure to visit this video when I’m ready! Thank you. ❤️

Ho la la, what a lot of work, but the result is worth it. When cutting near the door, I thought to myself, poor little girl, this is a super tough and very difficult corner. Your perseverance has given us a very good job. You can be super proud of yourself. It makes me want to do the same this fall. Thank you for your valuable advice and congratulations again. Good work.👏👏👏👍🤗

Girrrrrl! I can sooo relate to those tricky pieces. If you do it again, a trick I used, was poster board. Then you can just trace it. Of course I didn't figure this out until I was almost done, but it made things so much easier with the funky pieces. 🥰

We redid our kitchen floors with this method! Super easy weekend project. Love the final look with the tile you picked!

It looks great! I just did my kitchen a month ago. It feels so good when you finish it.

Yayyy! Thanks for sharing this! Without seeing your video, I purchased the exact same flooring and grout for my bathroom. It looks great! I’m excited to tackle mine now.

You did a great job. It looks really nice and you'd never know it was peel and stick. The Grout really changes the game.

Wow, I have the same tile & you did a Phenomenal job! Thanks for this video and tips. I am going to try this for sure.

Your upgrade definitely gave the place a much better look. You also did an awesome job and gave me the confidence to go ahead and tackle my rental by sprucing it up 🤗

The construction paper hack is genius. I'm looking at using peel and stick vinyl tile on a floor and I will definitely use that to save my sanity. Your floor looks so good!

Been there, done that! You got it done and you'll appreciate it so much more ! Great job.

I just brought this same tile (I think) it is nice seeing an average person like me work on this and that it's ok to be extremely nervous. I've had mine sitting there for a week now waiting to get the courage. After watching this I'm so excited to go home and "wing it" basically lol. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing. I picked up a few of your tricks and I will apply when I redo my bathroom floor.

Great job you have motivated me to start mine! Thank you for sharing. Blessings.

It’s looks really good for your first time! Congrats and welcome to KZfaq! Making a template was a smart idea to figuring out those odd angles. I’m sure the professions know the trick to doing it, but I would have done exactly as you did! All that matters is the end result, right?! 🤗

You did an amazing job! The grout was a brilliant idea! I've done several projects using peel and stick tiles and I never thought about using grout to make it look more finished but I will on my next project!

I purchased everything I need to do my bathroom- peel & stick vinyl, grout, spacers, even the yellow sponge l0l. I also got a new vanity. My friend was going to help me, but then they moved a few states away. After watching your video it doesn’t look as ‘impossible’ as I imagined. Thanks for inspiring me to give it a try.

Thanks for showing not only your beautiful work but your struggles aswell, let's everybody know that it will not be perfect but doable. Great job, looks great!

Miranda, great job! Love your stick-to-it-ness!

Good for you diving in and doing this yourself! A good key learning is remove the toilet before you tile and grout ;) its surprisingly easy and then remains serviceable without damaging your work.

I love how you improvised using paper, that is something i see myself doing, You actually did a good job. I enjoyed your vid heaps.

Card board from the kids was a nice quick and simple solution. Smart

I appreciate your honesty😊 I've been wanting to do my bathroom floors and watching your video gave me the courage to it. It looks beautiful, you didn't give up it came out amazing 👏 Thanks for the tips and for this video 👏

Good looking DIY LVT with grout, amazing.

You did great!!!! This looked absolutely beautiful!

templates are always a good thing they help you get the exact cut you need i learned on my own again after doing it for years when i was way younger and then not doing it for a long period of time i actually forgot how to do the cuts when i used to be really fast at it . my hubby taught me years ago but now that hes gone they are some things i have forgotten ... thank you for posting this while i wasnt even thinking about doing a floor and now after watching your video i feel like changing everything lol overall i think you did a great job for your first time i really love how it came out .:)

It's too late for this project, but next time you have to cut a tricky piece, make a paper pattern. I use brown paper and push/crease it against the wall, cut it out and re-fit it into place. If there are gaps or places where you over trimmed, which there always are, I just tape smaller pieces of paper into the spaces until it fits perfectly. Remove it, trace it onto your tile and cut. Works great.

For odd shaped corners, I use a Contour Gauge Profile Tool. Perfect fit every time.

Don't be hard on yourself. Most of us learn in the same way you did. I remember some real messes. lol Anyway, it turned well. Give yourself a pat on the back.

I'm getting these installed this weekend. Difference is I'm paying someone to it. Good job lady!!

Yassss I’m going to do this in my bathroom ☺️ just got a new house thank you so much for showing me how to do it 🙏🏾

Exactly what I was looking for. A next to clueless woman, just going for it!! Thanks for sharing what to expect, and giving us a honest look at the potential, while not hiding mistakes. You give us all the "you can do it vibe" YOUR BATHROOM TURNED OUT GREAT!! THANK YOU 😊

This looks amazing! You've just given me hope for a project I'm doing next week.

I can appreciate this video. Just so happen, I bought the exact floors for my daughter’s bathroom. So thanks for tips. I gonna try rock it like u did. And love the socks 😁. U did 👍🏽 great

Ok girl I have some exciting news! I did my kitchen! It is AMAZING I love it and the grout is super awesome. I staggered them and I used bright white non sand grout. I had the same problem with the grout tab things. I eye balled it too. I also had a hard time learning to cut them too. lol

Looks great. My only advice is to use silicone for around the toilet, and not fill it with grout.

Great job, I'm looking forward to doing that to my kitchen and my bathroom I'm renting. And I really don't want to mess anything up that I'll have to pay for it later. You make it look rather easy thank you for your time. May Jehovah God continue to bless you with your great ideas.🙏🏾👍🏾

Hi Miranda. I love your enthusiasm. What a great idea and it looks awesome. I am your newest subscriber.

AMAZING!!! Loved the final product 👌🏻👏🏻

Hey awesome you jumped in and started doing your own work. It may not always come out "better"... but getting it done always FEELS better and getting it done the way you want feels great! Good job.

I love this video you just like me it took me for EVER to figure out that part ..lol. my excuse is HEY IM NOT A PROFESSIONAL..lol.. you did a good job I love it

You did the floor great! And you didn’t give up! #That’s determination! #Inspiration! ☺️

Good job. I’m going to be trying this for our bathroom floor.

I was in the back telling you just to make a template for that stubborn corner... I can’t not measure good. When they say oh cut it at 14 , 16 ths and numbers that don’t make since . So that’s why I take something to make my on pattern. First time watching your channel. Love it . 👊💛😂 congratulations you did a great job & I super loving the color.

Your floor is BEAUTIFUL && I enjoyed this video !! You did a really amazing job . Even with your minor mistakes I enjoyed watching you finish the job 💪🏾.

You did a great job! Wish me luck. Going to do this 🤩 thank you for teaching us this 🌷I subscribed ❤️

Omgah. Thank you so much for this video! I wanna do this and actually wanted that same style tile you have. I’m kinda scared 😂 but being that you said you weren’t sure what you were doing and your floor still came out so EXCELLENT 🤩 has definitely inspired me and helped me mustard you some courage lol thanks again. Your floors look awesome 😍

Awesome job! Thanks for posting!

you go girl you figured it out loove the grout idea to protect and water proof

You did a wonderful job and I love they way you cut that tile in front of the toilet. Roofing paper is also good for those tricky cuts.

wow...thats a great idea using the grout...just in time for my bathroom reno..THANK YOU for sharing :D!!!

Looks amazing! I am 57 year old woman. Been divorced for a year and a half. After 18 years together, he did all these things, only real tile. BUT, you inspired me to try to update my master bathroom. I loved how you used construction paper to get that hard to cut tile cut! Great idea! I am like you on the cutting. I quilt and it takes me forever to get going because I am terrified I will measure and cut wrong. If you only have so much material of your patterns then you certainly can't spare too many screw ups! I measure and measure and measure and then pray abd CUT! 😱. I loved your video...thank you young lady!

I wish I could do this. It looks good!!!. Thanks for sharing.

Welcome to KZfaq. You did good for not ever having done this before. I used this same tile in my daughter's bathroom in 2020 and I understand trying to get around those corners and curves, it was nk fun. Thanks for sharing.

Wow!! I think you did 👍great..& now when you see it & realize just how totally awesome it really does look 😀 you have only yourself to feel so darn wonderful as an official accomplished tile layer..wow that's 👍great..enjoy more projects to come 😀...

Your a trailblazer...I admire your courage!.. you did good!

You did a great job and you should be proud of yourself,looks great.

Nice information I needed it because we’re remodeling our bathroom and we’ve never done it before.

Absolutely love your video you are hilariousssss! The best part was your honest moments of frustration! Lolol love the outcome and the that you ended up doing a update later on.

We creative woman know how to do what we got to do to make it work. Great job. Construction/craft paper is great, easy to cut, piece together and the best template because its thin, endurable and can be slid under things ... and its cheap.

BTW: sometimes using a paper template helps. That way you can adjust the paper more easily and then trace it on the tile.

This looks amazing never thought of leaving grouting space with stick down tiles 😳 they look so much better. I will be trying this next time. Take care x

Great job. Definitely a new subbie. I can't wait for more

You did an awesome job despite the challenges

Great job ,sometimes you have to make a template of the difficult areas to use as a pattern.I use brown paper bags .

I felt your frustration I just went through the same thing I wish I saw this prior to just jumping in, but you did it!!! Looks amazing I am going to grout next which at this point I’m so over it lol

That was a lot of time, dedication and persistence!! Kudos to you and great job!!

So thankful for this video, I am contemplating using this exact tile and was unsure of whether to grout or not.

Watching your video really helped me with my project. Thank you.

Hi, this looks so nice! Great idea using the construction paper to make a pattern ! I may do that myself when I put my floors down in the kitchen!Who knows how to do this unless you've done it before or you're a professional! Main thing the end result looked Beautiful and that's all that matters! Thanks for sharing this video!😊💕

Cool project, great work! I'm very happy that someone found grouting these tiles easy. I'm in the middle of this exact project & I'm almost in tears. I have white & gray peel & stick vinyl tiles, with iron gray grout made for vinyl tiles. Every time I wipe with the sponge, it's wiping the grout out of the cracks between the tiles. I tried wiping lighter, wiping super carefully so I wouldn't touch the cracks....nothing works. 35% of the grout I put in the cracks is being wiped out by the time I wipe the tiles clean. Im wiping immediately & doing very small sections. I went back over 50% of the cracks with more grout to fill them in, I let it sit for 8 mins thinking it would get a bit more dry in the cracks & not wipe off as easily. Now, I'm trying very hard to scrub it off the tiles with a scouring pad. & guess what, it's still coming back out of the cracks. A complete nightmare! I'm so defeated. Sorry guys. Just venting! I'm a pretty avid DIYer, but I've never grouted before. 1st & last time. 😢😮

Awesome job... I glad you didn't give up on your project. 💖💖

I'm laying the exact tile tomorrow. Thanks 😊

Looks fabulous! Great job! 😊

I'm about to install same flooring but different color, what I did first created mold copies from card bore pieces to cut my tile to measurements specially on those difficult areas behind the toilet. I noticed you used grout around the toilet FYI use silicone instead next time, other then that you did a fantastic job 👍

You need a Saker. This measures and shows u exactly where to cut. I ordered one for my daughter and we both are using it. Please please look into getting one. You will never regret this purchase!!!

You did a great job! Looks so much better. I like the idea to use grout, that made a big difference 😎

You did a awesome job no one is perfect great job

Looks awesome well done.

Super smart about the construction paper! Thank you for this video!

Hahaha. That flippin corner piece. Had me loosing it. This video was entertaining AND educational. Count those lost vinyls to no loss at all. I got a good laugh. Thank you for taking the effort and time to send this through. 👍 this momma got some good tips and tricks just from watching! Consider me subscribed

I hate corners, yes i start in the center of the room, i use ceramic tiles, i have an electric cutter, you did awsome👌🏼👏🏼

Nice job definitely alot harder than it looks doing this many times I can tell you were frustrated with that one corner but you did it 👍

Just too cute, great job

Wow congratulations you did a great job 👏 👍 😀

I loved your video, very well explained the little details.

Good job! It sure looks amazing!
