Where can I get appliques like this?

I really like these appliques. I’ve recently gotten into sewing alot, and want to expand my designs with appliques. I know of etsy.com, but is there any other website that sells stuff like this?:

Appliques are applied to other fabrics in various ways!

Some people do sell them but they’re so easy to make yourself that most sewers just do that.
(If you still want to buy them though, check out your local fabric shop for fabric appliques and even ones made with glittery stones, etc., or check out some of these:

Appliques in general can just be “needle-turned” and hand-stitched down, or they can use an interfacing and/or fusible web/sheetings of some kind in various ways.
The one you linked to probably just uses a double-sided fusible sheeting on the back of the fabric shape.

As I said though, you can easily make things like that yourself though (and don’t have to buy an expensive Cricut/etc machine or purchase special software to do the shapes or the cutting).

Generally, the process would go like this (for doube-sided fusible sheeting):
…cut out a piece of fabric *larger* than you want your shape to be (let’s say, a bird shape), then trace around a paper template of your bird shape onto that fabric using a pencil or something else (or you could trace it in other ways, perhaps by putting the paper image and fabric onto a large window so you can see the lines to draw)
…cut out a piece of fusible sheeting that’s a bit *smaller* than the fabric piece
…place the fabric face down and then the fusible sheeting on top of it (so there’s a fabric edge showing all around and you won’t get adhesive on your iron in a later step)
…place either a sheet of thin silicone or other heat-resistant sheet on top of the fusible sheeting (or some of them already come with a sheet like that attached)
…then press down all over the applique shape with your iron (on a hard surface), holding it in place in each area, which will melt the glue on the fusible sheet allowing it to bond to the fabric
…let the whole thing cool, then remove the heat-resistant sheet
…now, cut out the bird- shape from the fabric-with-fusible-sheeting-attached-to-it (right on the pencil line you drew before)

…when you want to attach the bird to your clothing or other surface, just iron/press it to the clothing as above but you won’t need any heat-resistant sheeting this time

…then you can either leave it as is if it won’t get stressed (e.g., in a frame or something), or you can sew down the applique around its edges using a “satin” stitch, or other stitches on your sewing machine like zigzag, buttonhole or even stragith stitch if you don’t mind the very edges not being totally flat after washing … or some people even use a line of fabric paint to cover the edges of the appliques, which extends also onto the fabric it’s being attached to, to hold the applique on well at the edges (and to seal them in case they ravel later)

I’m sure there are many lessons on doing appliques this way online… let me go see if I can find some.
Okay… check out some of these:
