Tree Art: Adding life to your trees with tree faces

Trees have a mighty presence in many yards, so why not spruce them up with a new look? An appealing variety of tree faces are on the market today in a clever array of personalities. Happy, grumpy, serious, and playful are only a few of the expressions that you can use to give your tree a lifelike appearance.

Not only are they inexpensive, but also, they are quick and easy to attach to your trees. Tree faces are available in numerous garden, home discount, and home improvement stores. Moreover, quite a few online sites have an amazing variety of tree faces available for purchase, including custom made versions.

Even the pre-made versions offer a variety of facial features that are sure to catch your attention. From quirky eyebrows to pouting lips and wide eyed gazes, the designers of tree faces have managed to capture the quintessential look of humans for these stately creatures. While some models are more realistic than others, each face provides a uniquely clever look that catches the eye of any passerby.

Designed for special occasions, tree faces are also available in themes. Snowmen, Santa, and elves for Christmas, the Easter Rabbit for Easter, goblins, witches, skeletons, and monsters for Halloween, a variety of deer for nature lovers, saints for the Religious, and elves, wizards, and trolls for the fantasy enthusiasts. Many of these styles come with additional features such as antlers, mustaches, beards, and ears.

Selecting your tree faces will take a little careful thought and planning. The number of trees that you will give a face lift, the location and size of the trees, and the theme that you wish to portray will all need to be considered. Additionally, the expense that you are prepared to undertake, as well as the realism that you are looking to present, are important factors.

The basic set comes with a mouth, nose, and eyes in separate pieces that are easily placed on the tree with a few short sturdy nails. Not only is this type of design easy to put up, but also it fits rather well on a variety of tree sizes, since they are available in sets for small, medium, and large trees. The faces are made to hold up against the elements of weather, so they are going to last a long time.

Another style of tree face is also on the market and involves a well-designed piece of molded plastic. This version is a one-piece ensemble that will easily attach to your tree by hanging it on nails or large staples that have been secured to the tree. This style is flexible and molds to the contour of the tree if properly placed and secured. Moreover, the face blends in well for aesthetic appeal, due to its natural bark coloring. What a surprise for any passerby who happens upon the tree decked out with one of these.

Adding tree faces to your yard can bring a pleasant touch to the neighborhood. In fact, trees with personality make wonderful companions- good listeners who do not interrupt while you are talking. Wise, old men with serious looks add a sedate atmosphere, while happy go lucky expressions add a touch of playfulness.

Custom made models can be ordered online to the customer’s specifications. While there are some limitations, these styles offer a more unique appearance. Some special order models come with realistic looking moss that can add to the appeal of the design.

Tree faces can be purchased in many locations including gardening centers, home improvement stores, discount and variety stores, and online sites. Prices range anywhere from $11.99 to slightly more than $100.00. In fact, some styles are often placed on sale or clearance throughout the year.
