This video will teach you how to use a down jacket that you don’t wear or a collection of goose down and duck down to make a down quilt.
Making your own down comforter not only allows you to reuse unused down jackets, also achieve the recycling of down, and also allows you to enjoy a pure down duvet at a very low cost.
There are 5 steps to making your own down quilt
Step 1: Find your down jackets.
For example, if we make a 1.6×2.1 duvet, we need about 4-5 down jackets
You can refer to the table below to find how many down jacket you need
Step 2: washing down jacket .
Put the down jacket you found in the washing machine for washing, as the washed down jacket will be very easy to disassemble. After washed your down jacket the down inside will become clumps. We put the down jacket in the washing machine for more than an hour before taking it out.
Step 3: Collect the down.
We can use a small knife to cut open the down jacket. You will find that all the down is in clumps, very easy to collect. The down won’t fly remove everywhere. Put the down in a basin, and put some water in the basin, and collect all the down.
Step 4: Divide the down equally.
For example, if we buy a down quilt with 35 square, we will divide the down into 35 parts
Step 5: fill the down.
According to the blueprint we provided, poke the filling tube into the duvet shell and place the down one by one.
Step 6: Drying duvet.
Put the down quilt outside to dry for 2 days, then pat it.
A soft and quiet down quilt will be ready
