Just plan it carefully, make sure you have all the tools and materials you need before starting. Laying out the tiles exactly where they have to go before you install them, and measuring carefully, will be a big help.<br><b>References : </b><br> It shouldn’t be difficult, unless you have tricky cuts to make somewhere.

But, your idea of applying it to the plywood and adhering that is problematic. First, the plywood is going to require something different than drywall to adhere the tile to it. Then you have a huge problem, glass tiles adhered to that plywood is going to be heavy to lift and place as a backsplash. Further, you will need some other adhesion to glue to the drywall (pourous to pourous) and then you'd better hope that it sticks or you will have a mess of glass all over your kitchen.<br><b>References : </b><br>30 years experience in interior design Use a piece of plywood with drywall to practice getting the adhesion, the grout applied and even the cutting of the glass tiles around light switches or other obstacles.
