and start clipping your feather boas to
your tutu. So you get an idea of what you Once all your feathers are clipped on

elastic part of your tutu add a dab
of your glue and press on your feathers          Should look like this when done gluing.

of the tutu) .       the tutu look fuller. Compared to the tutu
                                                                      above.
