Here’s an adorable mixed-media scarf by Cut Out and Keep member stitch.tac.sew. The scarf is hand-knit, but the skull appliques would be a great way to personalize a purchased scarf or other item.

I like the off-kilter look of these skulls, and the colors are lovely together. Felt is a wonderful material to applique with, since you don’t have to worry about raw edges unraveling. These appear to be attached with a blanket stitch, which is super easy to do.

The shapes are all very simple, so you could do this kind of applique in just an hour or two. It’s a great last-minute way to customize an accessory.
