I seem to be collecting owl appliqués, but don’t have a plan for incorporating them into my wardrobe. Help me get these cuties out of my sewing box!
Should I attach a patch to a skirt? Emblazon a blazer? Convert them to brooches?
I studded an owl onto a skirt and one of my owl brooches is permanently attached to my Dex jacket.
I glued brooch backs to this appliqué so that I didn’t have to commit.
What do you suggest?

The little owl patch in the package, you should sew onto a back pocket of a pair of your jeans. : )
The very first thing I thought of was a play on those obnoxious 80s crested yacht club blazers with the sequined owl on the pocket instead of the crest. Bling-y gold buttons would still be required.
how about sewing them to a scarf?
Back in the 70s the cool people would decorate the back center panel of their jean jackets with embroidery and such...I could see a scene incorporating several owls, or maybe a crazy quilt type look.
Attatch the sequined one to a simple headband, positioned so he's standing.
LOVE the owls, by the way!
Oh I love how your floral lapel looks on the blazer!
I like the idea of it being a pin so you can change your mind, that is the perfect solution for indecision!
Chic on the Cheap
I think you should have a giveaway!
When I was in first grade I felt left out because everyone had alergies except me. So I told everyone (including teachers) that I was alergic to owls. No one ever questioned me. But then a year later we discovered that I was, infact, severely alergic to many things, so I dropped the owl thing. Again, no one ever questioned me...
Anyway.
I love that sequin-y owl and I think he'd look really cute on a purse. I think the plain-ish brown one would look cute in the bottom corner of a cardigan :)
I would use the sequin owl covering the fastener on a one-button blazer or maybe even attach one of them on a flat belt buckle.
Love the brooch idea also fastening it to a handbag is another one.
I like the idea of using one of them on a headpiece/headband somehow.
All the owls are adorable! It seems like I'm seeing a lot of owl and turtle accessories right now.
Owl is my favourite bird. You should sew the patch on the back of a solid coloured jacket or bolero. It will look great.
I think making a brooch out of them is a good idea-you can always move them around and use them in many of the ways already suggested here without having to committ
