# Recycled Paper Owls Night Owl Paper Goods' Owl Plushies are Flying Off Shelves By Katherinev123 | Published 2009-10-19 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/owl-plushies References: [inhabitots](http://www.inhabitots.com/2009/10/19/new-recycled-owl-plushies-by-night-owl-paper-goods/) & [nightowlpapergoods](http://nightowlpapergoods.com/home.php?cat=28) I have decided to put my fear of owls aside and write about the Owl Plushies from Night Owl Paper Goods because I’m sure you’ll think they’re really cute (whereas I find them absolutely terrifying—so this is a brave thing I’m doing). Made from recycled paper, these eco-friendly Owl Plushies have been flying off the shelves, according to Inhabitots. Designed by Lori Nichols, the Owl Plushies are one-of-a-kind [stuffed toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giftable-squishmallows) made from thrift-store sweaters and each feature a pair of ‘mournful’ acorn eyes made from [book pages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks) and wooden pieces. You can also custom order an owl and have it made out of your own meaningful heirloom sweaters.
