How do I make Feather Fluffs?....I'm just starting to do these Powwow Outfit Projects.

Could you re-phrase the question? I'm not sure what you are asking. A person does not "make" fluffs, breath plumes, or downy feathers, that's the way they come from the bird.

theres another thread that gives suggestions as to how to get the feathers fluffy....

suggested to wash them with a gentle soap such as baby shampoo and then blow dry them I have also heard of washing them and puttin them in the dryer on the air cycle...

Is that what you were referring to?
