⛳ What Makes Great Tee Art?
At ArtParTee, we transform your favourite snapshots into vibrant mosaics made from thousands of colourful golf tees. But here's the trick: the best results come from bold, simple images that translate well into blocky, pixel-style art.
🛠️ DIY Kits (50 Tees Square)
Our DIY kits are 50 tees wide by 50 tees high — that's just 2,500tees (or pixels) to capture your image. That means detail is limited, and simplicity is everything.
✅ Best for:
• A close-up of one person's face
• A single pet on a plain background
• A bold shape or symbol (like a golf ball or logo)
🚫 Avoid:
• Group photos or team pictures
• Scenic shots like golf greens or landscapes
• Subjects that blend into their background
• Anything with too much fine detail
💡 Pro Tip: Use our cropping tool to zoom in on the most important part of your photo. A full family photo won't work — but a close-up of one smiling face might be perfect.
🎨 Commissions (64 Tees Wide and Up)
Our commissioned pieces start at 64 tees wide and can scale much taller. With 4× the resolution of a DIY kit, you can capture far more detail, but the same rules still apply:
✅ Great for:
• Portraits of one or two people
• Action shots like a golf swing
• Club logos, pets, or bold shapes
🚫 Still challenging:
• Busy, detailed backgrounds
• Group shots with many faces
• Low-contrast or blurry images
🧩 Bespoke & Large-Scale Projects
Looking for something truly unique? From shopfronts to large venue pieces, we work with clients on custom, oversized designs using thousands of tees in bespoke colours. Just get in touch to start your idea.
🔍 Image Selection Tips
DO:
• Choose bold subjects with clear outlines
• Crop in tightly to focus on the key part
• Pick images with good contrast (light subject, dark background or vice versa)
DON'T:
• Use full-scene photos like golf courses
• Include more than one or two subjects in a small piece
• Use dark, shadowy or cluttered photos
👀 Quick test: If you squint at your image and it still looks recognisable, it'll probably work well as tee art.
