Speaking of Appliques, one of my favorite ways to embellish and personalize a gift or personal item is to applique a shape or picture onto it. Etsy is full of talented applique-ers (is that even a word? I guess it is now!), who blow me away with their creativity:

Owl Applique Apron by SnappyShop
Owl Onesie by RockabyeRetro
Boys Easter Shirt by 3tsnme
Songbird Tote by JustforYouCreations

I found that bunny one on Etsy last week and copied it for my little niece. It's easy and fun!
Those are cute! I love appliques.
