I use a 'Scrathc Float' ... but you can make one ...

get a scrap of plywood, about 6 inches x 12 inches, band loads of small nails through it until they JUST poke through..

all you do is rub it all over the painted wall and scratch through the paint, the tile adhesive will have a good KEY onto the wall then ... if you can, get a tin of UniBond, and paint the wall with a dilute solution before you apply the tiles....they'll stick even better.
